Hi, I have uploaded fmtlib 7.1.3 to experimental, I would like to request a slot to start this transition. In the past (fmtlib <= 6.x), it's a static only library. Last month I adopted it, and decide to build a shared library for 7.x. The old package has too much patches which are not merged by/forwarded to upstream, thus I do want have the 7.x(which is re-packaged from scratch) for bullseye. The new version will use what upstream provides. It will has two targets in its cmake system, one is head-only version, one is shared library version. So when r-depend packages rebuild with this new version, it can either use head-only version, or the shared library. For example in https://sources.debian.org/src/fcitx5/5.0.3-2/CMakeLists.txt/#L82 it will check which target exists. The ben file seems hard to rewrite, as there's no good way to check what is_good and is_bad. Following packages need to be rebuilt bear dpaste fcitx5 fcitx5-chinese-addons hinge intel-gmmlib knxd kodi libpog lizardfs mkvtoolnix nheko open3d opendht openimageio osmid purify pytorch rapmap restinio ring salmon sopt spdlog tiledb waybar yaramod I will start to check if they can be rebuilt successfully. One thing to mention is that spdlog should be rebuilt first. As it uses fmtlib internal API and embedded fmtlib in its shared library previously. So if packages both use fmtlib and spdlog, they need to be rebuilt later. Thanks Shengjing Zhu
