Hi, It seemed a good idea to have this all written down in a single place, rather than just in my / other people's heads.
Apologies for the slightly brain-dumpy nature. Updates, additions, corrections, etc, welcome. Ongoing transitions =================== * boost boost-defaults has transitioned and packages depending on boost1.40 are gradually being binNMUed. * directfb + celt "The transition that never wants to end". The current issue here is the j-a-c-k FTBFS. * evince + totem-pl-parser Just started. * kde Uploading KDE 4.4 to unstable. * netcdf Partly done due to normal unstable churn and binNMUs for other reasons (e.g. unixodbc). vtk is an r-dep, so we either need to get the vtk transition out of the way first, or tie the transitions together. * python Need to schedule the switch to 2.6 as the default version. * unixodbc Tied to netcdf via gdal and mapserver. * vtk Involves a number of C++ packages which are ftbfs for various reasons. Not yet scheduled transitions ============================= * apt aptitude FTBFS on s390; needs fixing first. * evolution Clashes with icu. * icu Involves boost1.4[02], evolution and openoffice.org. Do we want to be rebuilding boost in the middle of KDE? * libwpd*8c2a -> libwpd*-0.8-8 Involves kword and openoffice.org. * mpi-defaults Some packages ftbfs with mpich2; being worked on. * opal / ptlib Looks self contained, but opal is part of directfb + celt (the unstable package no longer depends on celt, but the package in testing does). We either leave opal / ptlib until after directfb + celt is sorted, or add another transition to that set. * xapian Affects many of the same packages as the apt transition. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
