Dear release team,

I would like to ask a transition slot for the coin3 library. The package
has been reworked and a new version of the upstream has been packaged.

Upstream have changed the build system to CMake and this has been used
for the package. This has an implication that it will break with FTBFS
the packages that use it: pivy, freecad, openscenegraph-3.4 and soqt, I
have contacted with all the maintainers and they are aware about it and
we are preparing patches or simple disable in any case.

Coin3 also is affected by one bug #874727 (serious) that have marked the
package to autoremoval. The two bugs of the sources are referring to the
inclusion of a embed copy of expat that in this version is dropped.

In the case of soqt, I have a new version adapted for coin3 with cmake.
When it enter to unstable we will push it.

Best regards,


Leopold
