Dear release team, I would like to get a transition slot for the libnsl2 -> libnsl3 transition. The latter is already in experimental. The main change in this version is the drop for the NIS+ support, which means the corresponding symbols are not exported anymore, requiring a SONAME bump even if the library uses symbol versioning. Besides that the changes are minor. I've tried rebuilding all the reverse dependencies against libnsl3 on amd64, and the following packages build successfully: - argus argus-clients - autofs - ball - dar - dcmtk - dsniff - iproute2 - java3d - libnet-nis-perl - libnss-nis - ntirpc - perdition - pike8.0 - postfix - proftpd-dfsg - python3.13 - python3.14 - slapi-nis - udptunnel - ypbind-mt - ypserv - yp-tools However sendmail FTBFS. The issue is reported in bug #1138718 and includes a patch. Given it is QA maintained, I can do an upload when the transition begins. Ben file: title = "libnsl"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libnsl2" | .depends ~ "libnsl3"; is_good = .depends ~ "libnsl3"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libnsl2"; Thanks for considering Aurelien
