Hello, I have got a minor transition coming up: gnutls 2.12.0.
GnuTLS contains 4 libraries, some of these broke, but not the important one: libgnutls. The main library, some new symbols but no incompatible changes. shlibs will be bumped, soname does not change. (Shipped in package libgnutls26) libgnutls-extra. non-LGPL code. shlibs bump but also no soname change. (Shipped in package libgnutls26) libgnutls-openssl. ABI breakage (changed public struct), but no API breakage. soname bumped. This library used to be shipped in the libgnutls26 package but I have moved it to a separate package, because the soname version changed. GnuTLS C++ wrapper. ABI breakage, soname bumped. No reverse dependencies. (libgnutlsxx26 and libgnutlsxx27). ---------------- Transition plan: 1. Find all packages linking against the OpenSSL wrapper library (extract everything depending on libgnutls26, use objdump -p | grep NEEDED to find linking binaries/librarires.) Last time I checked there were iirc about 8 packages involved. 2. Doublecheck whether they build against the new version. 2. Add versioned Breaks for all packages linking against libgnutls-openssl to the libgnutls26 package. I would use <= current-version-in-sid. 3. Upload to sid. 4. Trigger binNMUs for the packages found in 1. ----------------- Does this plan look ok? Any improvements? I will follow up once I have uploaded 2.12.0 to experimental (2.11.7 is available and should be basically identical.) and run through 1 and 2 of the transition plan. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
