Alternatively, I can patch the change out of notcurses-2.0.7+dfsg.1 and cut a new debian release that will support an unchanged snd. I think this is a much worse option, but I'm willing to take the hit if it makes things easier for you -- I've caused you enough problems :(. -- nick black -=- https://www.nick-black.com to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#975029: transition: notcurses
first off, sorry about that. it was in the NEWS, but it really did come at an inconvenient time, and probably wasn't the best call. this is an API change but *not* an ABI change[0]. * 2.0.7 (2020-11-21) * The `horiz` union of `ncplane_options` has been discarded; the `int x` within has been promoted. This union brought no actual type safety, and was annoying for callers to deal with otherwise. Sorry for the inconvenience. i've sent off a patch to the snd author; how would you feel about me providing you with that same patch? it's quite trivial, and fewer than a dozen lines. i appreciate your patience and willingness to work with me as i learn the transition process, sebastian. you've been very helpful. [0] the difference is in a struct's definition; while it changes the API, it *does not* change the ABI (it replaces a union over enum+int with the int) AFAICT. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Bug#975029: transition: notcurses
Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition X-Debbugs-Cc: dankamong...@gmail.com, pk...@debian.org I am the upstream author and Debian Maintainer of notcurses. The 2.0.0 release included an soname bump to 2, though there were actually no ABI changes in this release. Rather, the soname bump was to indicate that Notcurses was finally shipping a stable API, as it had changed pretty wildly during 1.x development. Notcurses will commit to backwards compatibility through the 2.x cycle. As I am only a DM (as opposed to a full DD), I couldn't upload to experimental myself. Due to some communication breakdowns, Debian had an out-of-date notcurses for more time than I was comfortable with; eventually (shortly after the 2.0.4 release), I added a patch to fix the soname at 1, and successfully uploaded notcurses-2.0.4+dfsg.1-1 to unstable. Philipp Kern was then kind enough to step in and sponsor the libnotcurses2 upload, which is now in experimental as 2.0.4+dfsg.1-3. Any reverse dep running successfully with libnotcurses1 2.0.4+dfsg.1-1 ought work exactly the same when rebuilt against libnotcurses2 2.0.4+dfsg.1-3 (without changes). There are only two reverse-deps: * growlight 1.2.19, which I maintain * snd 20.8-2, maintained by the Debian Multimedia Team. I've contacted them to let them know about the upcoming transition. I expect no problems with the package. A transition tracker entry has been automatically created at https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-notcurses.html.
