Hi everybody,
At the moment, three near-identical source packages called
libdb4.2-ruby, libdb4.3-ruby, and libdb4.4-ruby are in Lenny. A
replacement for them, libdb-ruby, is on its way there; this sure is an
unwanted situation. To clean up, I see two possibilities:
(1) Remove libdb4.[2-4]-ruby from testing as soon as libdb-ruby has
migrated. The latter Provides the necessary package names, so no
dependencies will be broken. Unfortunately, two or three rdeps have
problems with this transition, related to API changes. I’d like to
get a pre-approval for letting these uploads into Lenny.
Are bugs filed for these issues already? How big are the needed API changes?
(2) Remove the freeze exception on libdb-ruby. This obviously is less
work now, but ugly and bad for post-release uploads targetting
lenny/lenny-security.
I would prefer (1), but I have no idea when libdb-ruby will migrate. If
you feel this is irresponsible, feel free to go with (2).
Then, libdb-ruby has been “building” for ages on peri (hppa). Could I
kindly request it to be scheduled again?
libdb-ruby given back, though note that it's not guarenteed to get built
as keeping the buildd running is more important (ruby1.9 has some nasty
issues)...
Cheers
Luk
