Hi folks,
Not as quickly as hoped for, but we are getting close to having all the
library transitions staged in experimental[0] with NMU patches in the BTS.
Thanks to improved analysis coverage of various packages, the total count of
libraries transitioned has come down to something south of 1108+49=1157[1].
The count of reverse-dependencies to be binNMUed is now down to
5298+178=5476[2]. We have 1025 'pending' bugs filed with patches that will
be mass-NMUed to unstable, plus an additional 46 packages[4] for which
patches are available but which will not be included in the mass NMUs either
because the packages FTBFS in unstable or because the maintainers have asked
to handle these uploads directly; and 17 packages which have been identified
as needing a transition but don't have soname-qualified library package
names that accomodate inclusion in the mass-renaming.
There is one outstanding bug for a package among the experimental uploads
which needs usrmerge mitigation[6], and a small number of packages for which
the NMU patches need to be fixed because the resulting binary packages are
missing the actual libraries[7].
There are also a handful of packages still in flight for upload.
I have coordinated with the gcc maintainer so that we can have the default
flags in gcc-13 changed this week.
We are therefore targeting Friday for the mass NMUs to unstable though there
is a possibility this won't start until as late as Monday depending on
capacity.
I am including below for your review an annotated (unsorted) list of
packages that were identified as packages to be NMUed but which have not
been for one reason or another.
