I've added blocks for the bugs I think need to be fixed before starting the transition. Most were filed by Sebastian Ramacher who (very kindly) did a rebuild of all the rdeps against pupnp 1.8. mpd, silverjuke and wmaloader all have bugs already filed against them. > 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). > > Ben file: > > title = "libupnp"; > is_affected = .depends ~ "libupnp6" | .depends ~ "libupnp10"; > is_good = .depends ~ "libupnp10"; > is_bad = .depends ~ "libupnp6"; One slight issue is #882377. In pupnp 1.8.3 upstream broke the ABI which I pointed out to them. As a result they have bumped the SONAME in upstream git (not yet released). To avoid having to do two transitions, we should wait to use the new SONAME. Since the damage is already done, I guess we could use the new SONAME right now, although I am always a little cautious in doing that in case upstream changes something else :) In any case, the ben file will need to be changed at some point. Also thanks to the people working on this. I know I haven't done as much as I probably should be doing. Thanks, James
