Dear Release Team,
The bobcat source package 6.09.00 introduces an API change that will
require sourceful uploads of a subset of packages that have build
dependencies on libbobcat-dev. The following packages will FTBFS once
bobcat >= 6.09.00 (currently in experimental) enters unstable:
bisonc++
c++-annotations
multispeech
ssh-cron
Once/if the transition is approved, I will file bugs against all of the
affected build r-deps and mark those packages as affected by the
transition bug. At that point, I will prepare patches and uploads for
the affected r-deps, and *then* we should be ready for the upload and
transition. Note that (3) of these will be trivial, as the upstream
author of bobcat is also the upstream author of bisonc++,
c++-annotations, and ssh-cron and has already prepared fixes as new
upstream versions.
Looks like the SONAME stayed the same. Is this an API break only, with no ABI
break? If so, we shouldn't need to schedule rebuilds.
Cheers,
Emilio
