Did you realize the following? This is a package set, mostly around src:libodb and src:odb. You will need to update those as well. There are some discontinuities in the new release [1] and these are not individual modules anymore, at least all moved to a single repository [2]. Last but not least, it switched to a new build system called 'build2' [3][4]. Are you prepared to package it for the sake of odb? So in short, you will need to package a build system and its toolchain. Then make all libodb* and odb packages built from one source tree now. Good news is, dependent packages are not forced to switch to 'build2', but the build instructions differ as I read [5]. In short, are you going to do these steps? As popcon score is low, I guess you want to use odb for yourself and/or other projects.
