The problem is not the library but the command line interface that may need change. Librarry will break (I think here about php module that will need a update), but it is treatable. convert6 is not fully compatible with convert7 convert6 will be co installable with convert7 in order to test, and convert will be provided by alternative system. We avoid a flag day, but we need co installable library. Bastien > > PS: Before the time_t transition is done, we will not process other > transitions. Not a problem, but I will like to upload work on experimental in order to test other arch than i386/amd64/arm that I could test Bastien > > Cheers >
