Hi,
I'd like to request a transition slot for the update of the libunibreak
library 7.0 to 8.0. Each new major version bumps the SOVERSION; in this
case some internal headers/APIs were removed.
There are few users of libunibreak in Debian:
- coolreader -- #1149030
- crengine-ng -- #1149029
- efl
- fbreader
- krita
- libass
The majority of them (not using the removed APIs) build correctly with
the new version of libunibreak.
coolreader & crengine-ng fails because they used internal APIs that were
removed. I filed the tickets few minutes ago both for upstream and for
Debian (see the bts# above); other than being fixed upstream,
- crengine-ng can be built disabling the libunibreak support
- coolreader can be built only including an embedded copy of
libunibreak 7.0, which is supported by the upstream build scripts;
not ideal though
At the moment there are ongoing ffmpeg and Qt transitions, so this can
wait for them. Let me know about the two issues I reported so far.
Ben file:
title = "libunibreak";
is_affected = .depends ~ "libunibreak7" | .depends ~ "libunibreak8";
is_good = .depends ~ "libunibreak8";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libunibreak7";
Thanks,

Pino

The old binaries got removed from testing. Closing.
