Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:renaissance User: [email protected] Usertags: transition
I would like to have a slot for a renaissance transition (librenaissance0 -> librenaissance0d). I noticed that EOModelEditor from bin:gnustep-dl2 is broken as its UI description files rely on tags implemented only in the unreleased Renaissance version. To rectify that, we packaged Git master and unfortunately I had to introduce a Debian-specific SONAME. Most of the changes are API additions but a few methods were renamed which is an ABI break. The last upstream release was 18 years ago and the dedicated upstream maintainer retired, so I don't expect a future release any time soon. The sole reverse-dependency gnustep-dl2 builds fine against the new library version so it can be binNMUed. Additionally, if we are allowed to have this new version in forky, I'd like to switch fisicalab.app to use it (it supports both the "classic" fixed-size UI with .gorm files and the dynamic autolayout provided by Renaissance with its XML-based .gsmarkup files).
