Another round of package renamings of some libraries written in C++ is needed. Background: libstdc++6 is currently configured to use the mt allocator based on discussions in April 2004 with upstream libstdc++ developers. This configuration turned out to be a mistake (memory leaks and the allocator is still buggy), other distributions did change back to the new allocator (the default one) in mid-2005 (FC in July 2005). The change does not have an effect on symbols exported from libstdc++, but it does have an effect on symbols exported by libraries which use containers (using an allocator) from the template headers. The proposal by upstream is to configure libstdc++ to use the new allocator again (the default one). The change will remove the *mt_alloc* symbols defined in some libraries, just by recompiling with a new compiler package. Therefore the package names of these libraries have be changed again. The list of libraries is attached below. Discussion with the release team can be found at http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/11/threads.html What has to be done: * Identify all library packages depending on libstdc++ and exporting *mt_alloc* symbols. See below. * Provide gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 packages configured using the default (new) allocator. These packages are currently available from http://people.debian.org/~doko/gcc-4.0/ (4.0.2-4) http://people.debian.org/~doko/gcc-3.4/ (3.4.4-10) * File bug reports for each library package in the list below. * Stop uploading packages listed below, stop the buildd's building these packages * Upload updated gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 packages. * Upgrade the buildd's to the updated gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 packages. * Build new packages with the updated gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 packages only. * Rename and Rebuild the libraries listed below. The new suffix for these packages should be in any case "c2a" (instead of "c2"). No new suffix is needed when the soname changes in a new upstream upload. The libfoo1c2a packages need to conflict/replace the old libfoo1c2 package (and keep existing conflict/replaces). You can find more details in http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/07/msg00001.html * Request binNMU's for the remaining packages (listed as app below).
