I think that we're not in danger at this point, at least I cannot see anything in the tracker. If the situation becomes more urgent/critical (e.g. due to being closer to the freeze) and I am not available to respond at that time in a reasonable time (2 days to a week, whatever you judge appropriate), please go ahead and fix it, unless co-maintainers (which are main maintainers really) object to it in the meantime. Thanks! -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo

The OSG patches are meant as an interim solution to remove the coin3 dependency from the OSG packages and remove the threat of testing autoremoval. OSG will also need to be patched to support the CMake builds of coin3, so more work is needed to get OSG to work with the fixed coin3.

Hi, 2018-11-04 18:28 Christoph Berg: Re: To markus 2018-10-05 <20181005080326.gb13...@msg.df7cb.de> > it's a packaging bug - libcoin is statically linked with libexpat, and > the version being used is outdated.

I noticed because PostGIS is affected via postgis B-D -> libsfcgal-dev -> libsfcgal-osg1 -> libopenscenegraph100v5 -> libcoin80v5. Looking at https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/autoremovals.cgi there's quite a few packages depending on coin3. So the question whether this affects freecad only or more packages is making quite a difference. There is some indirect progress on this, Sebastiaan Couwenberg has submitted patches to change OSG's VRML renderer to SGI Inventor: | Patches for both OSG packages have been submitted to use SGI Inventor | instead of COIN: | | https://bugs.debian.org/912866 (openscenegraph) | https://bugs.debian.org/912867 (openscenegraph-3.4) I am not totally opposed to that, and thanks to Bas for the patches. But it looks to me that the proper solution is something like what Bernhard posted just minutes before this message that I am replying to (that perhaps Christoph didn't notice, due to the timing): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=874727#96 I think that it's a better/proper solution because: a) SGI inventor looks like not having new upstream releases for more than a decade (or them not packaged in Debian), thus presumably not a terribly good idea in general to keep packages depending on it b) Fixing a problem with crashes and embedded static expat library in Coin looks like the right thing to do anyway Cheers. -- Manuel A.
