Upon further examination, it appears that lilypond need NOT be rebuilt, so that leaves: Bo Peng: lyx Samuel Thibault: brltty (python-brlapi), python-pyrex Dr. Volker Zell: (python-)lcms, (python-)ming lyx is just a matter of bytecode recompilation, but the others will be completely broken by the upgrade until they are rebuilt. I'm a bit concerned about python-pyrex as a build-time dep for other packages; the others show no reverse dependencies in distro nor Ports. Either way, unless you're pulling the trigger right now, could we wait at least 48 hours so that I can be online to coordinate the upload? Yaakov
