Hello, I would like to provide libgnutls-openssl27 from the gnutls28 source package (up to date upstream version of GnuTLS). The binary package name will not change, however the reverse dependencies will require a sourceful upload to update the build-depency. I have already done some testbuilds and and had a look at debian/copyright of the involved packages to check for LGPLv3+ compatibility. ------------------------ Transition plan: 1. libgnutls-dev in sid and libgnutls28-dev in experimental start providing libgnutls-openssl-dev. [DONE] 2. The respective version of libgnutls-dev propages to testing. [DONE] 3. The rdeps change their build-dependencies from libgnutls-dev to the purely virtual package libgnutls-openssl-dev. 4. The updated rdeps enter testing. 5. Start providing libgnutls-openssl-dev from libgnutls28-dev in sid, stop doing so in libgnutls-dev. 6. BinNMU all rdeps. ------------------------ Step 6 is necessary since the packages usually depend on both libgnutls-openssl27 and libgnutls26, also we want to verify buildability. Does this plan look good? I would start submitting bug-reports against the rdeps, asking them to change build-deps as a next step.
