Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: transition
Hi release team and affected maintainers, Disclaimer: I need new json-c to fix RC licensing bug in php5 (thus I do care about this package more than I do care for some other). JSON-C upstream has renamed the library from libjson.so to libjson-c.so, headers are now in /usr/include/json-c and pkg-config is called json-c. There's a compatibility layer (symlinks and libjson.so.0), but since the library has so few r-deps, I feel that we might not need it to make things more simple in the future. The upstream is planning to drop the compatibility layer in next release anyway, so we would have to do the transition in some other point in time. I wrote to fabien, and I still need to hear from him, but I took the liberty to build the packages and you can find preliminary updated packages here: https://www.sury.org/json-c/ There are no library symbols removed (just added), so the transition should be relatively painless (you will just have to do s/json/json-c/ in your packages).
