Hi, I'd like to request a transition slot for the update of the libunibreak library 7.0 to 8.0. Each new major version bumps the SOVERSION; in this case some internal headers/APIs were removed. There are few users of libunibreak in Debian: - coolreader -- #1149030 - crengine-ng -- #1149029 - efl - fbreader - krita - libass The majority of them (not using the removed APIs) build correctly with the new version of libunibreak. coolreader & crengine-ng fails because they used internal APIs that were removed. I filed the tickets few minutes ago both for upstream and for Debian (see the bts# above); other than being fixed upstream, - crengine-ng can be built disabling the libunibreak support - coolreader can be built only including an embedded copy of libunibreak 7.0, which is supported by the upstream build scripts; not ideal though At the moment there are ongoing ffmpeg and Qt transitions, so this can wait for them. Let me know about the two issues I reported so far. Ben file: title = "libunibreak"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libunibreak7" | .depends ~ "libunibreak8"; is_good = .depends ~ "libunibreak8"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libunibreak7"; Thanks, -- Pino
