Hard to tell yet. There are a number of trivial changes (e.g removal of compat header nettle/sha.h) that throw many rdeps but also harder breakage. How about uploading from a separate source right now to be safe and moving it to a nettle src if possible later? I have started an experiment on debusine https://debusine.debian.net/debian/developers-ametzler-nettle-v1/ Will need to figure out how to get debusine to try to rebuild all rdeps. cu Andreas -- "You people are noisy," Nia said. I made the gesture of agreement.
