Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition X-Debbugs-Cc: lib...@packages.debian.org, Till Kamppeter <till.kamppe...@gmail.com> Control: affects -1 + src:libppd
Greetings, possible this is not a regular transition, but in exchange I guess it should be pretty smooth and simple ... So some background: There are major changes coming in the area of printing using CUPS, driven by Till Kamppeter (Cc'd), and among other things this will introduce a library "libppd" to interact with PPD (PostScript Printer Description) files. That one however will clash with an existing libppd, maintained by yours truly, and after some discussion with Till we figured the sane way was to move that old library out of the way, name-wise. So src:libppd has been renamed to src:libppd-legacy, and has entered experimental yesterday. While doing so, I've fixed a longstanding mismatch in the soname version, hence the new number libppd-legacy*1*. Now about the formal transition procedure: There is exactly one reverse build-dependency, src:gpr, I've already filed #1027408 for the required changes. Taking care of this is on my list. That should be all - if you need more information, just let me know. Kind regards, Christoph Ben file: title = "libppd"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libppd0" | .depends ~ "libppd-legacy1"; is_good = .depends ~ "libppd-legacy1"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libppd0";
