Hello,
Currently there are two versions of libupnp in the archive:
- src:libupnp providing the 1.6.x branch of libupnp which is considered
legacy by upstream
- src:pupnp-1.8 providing the 1.8.x branch of libupnp
I want to get rid of libupnp6 converting all rdeps to the newer libupnp
package.
There are not that many reverse dependencies for libupnp6:
amule
amule-daemon
djmount
gmediarender
gmediaserver
libmediastreamer-base3
linphone
linphone-nogtk
linux-igd
mpd
openclonk
ring-daemon
silverjuke
vlc-plugin-base
wmaloader
I know about mpd upstream already supporting both versions. The Debian
maintainer of vlc already invested some work in making vlc support both
versions. I'm about to send a bug about silverjuke with a patch
implementing a simple conversion which makes it support both versions.
The Debian maintainer of wmaloader asked me to report an RM bug.
James Cowgill (= maintainer of src:pupnp-1.8) already uploaded a version
of src:pupnp-1.8 providing libupnp-dev to experimental.
https://release.debian.org/transitions/ doesn't have an automatic
transition though (probably because there are two packages involved).
