If they have no more rdeps in sid, then yes.

I believe filing the bug will be correct in this case. :)

Hi all, I'm glad to announce that I've adopted this package :) and I've
uploaded a new version (2.0.0-1). This version doesn't build newlib-spu
anymore. It arrived on the archive a few days ago, should I request the removal
of the old packages for close this bug?
I just read[0] that "rene" should take over about it. But newlib orig 1.18
still there :/ and the cruft-report doesn't show results about newlib. I don't
understand what happens, it's the first time that I have to deal with something
like this. If someone can point me what is the correct way that I should
proceed I'll be very grateful.

Hi all,

This is currently blocking gcc-defaults from migrating to testing (and
by extension a lot of other packages that is currently waiting for
gcc-defaults), so I am bumping the severity to RC.

yes.

well, the spu cross toolchain needs packaging from a separate source package,
like done for the mingw64 packages.  I suppose newlib needs an update too,
Arthur Loiret is MIA, so the package maybe should be orphaned or taken over as 
well.

I guess this means users will also need to build newlib (in addition to
the gnu-spu) if they want to do spu programming for cell.

Matthias, please let us know in general what a user needs to do for
this.

I don't maintain the spu cross toolchain anymore, as previously written to the
gcc and powerpc ML. So newlib maybe shouldn't build the spu packages anymore.

Bug#722542: gcc-spu went away but is still being used

2013-09-11 Thread Niels Thykier
Package: gcc-defaults,newlib
Severity: important

Dear maintainers of gcc-defaults and newlib,

I noticed that gcc-defaults have removed the "gnu-spu" package in sid,
but newlib still build-depends on it.  Since there was no bug against
either package, I am assuming no one has noticed this so far.  As it
is, this is one (of several) things blocking gcc-defaults migration to
testing.

This bug can be fixed either by re-introducing gcc-spu (possibly as a
transitional package, if gcc-spu is no longer needed) or by newlib no
longer Build-Depending on gcc-spu (since it is the last package using
it).  I will leave it to you to decide how this will be solved; please
reassign this bug to the proper package.

Thank you in advance,
~Niels
