bibutils themselves should be fine. Haskell packages might require
either binNMU, or source uploads.

Absolutely, the only non-Haskell reverse dependency is the binary bibutils.
I have already filed a blocking bug, which I am going to raise to RC, and I
will write to the list following your advice.

Done. Thanks for your contribution!

I see that the most of the reverse dependencies of bibutils belong to
Haskell team. As I am not a member of that team, please contact them for
sponsoring haskell-* packages.

The release team has just asked to go ahead after I submitted a transition
bug [1]; I have prepared the upload to unstable in Salsa [2] (with
UNRELEASED distribution), would you please mind uploading it, as you kindly
offered?

I will now wait for it to exit NEW and then launch the transition procedure.


Sure! Ping me when you need an upload to unstable for this.

Thanks a lot for reviewing my work, correcting this mistake and uploading
the package to experimental!

I will now wait for it to exit NEW and then launch the transition procedure.

I have uploaded bibutils to experimental today. I have just changed a
line in the debian/changelog saying that libraries are placed in
/usr/share, when indeed they seem to be placed in /usr/lib.

Thanks a lot for your contribution!

[RFS] bibutils for an upload in experimental

[Pierre Gruet]

Dear all,


Some days ago I worked on the packaging of bibutils, which is maintained in
the team. I had to bump the SONAME and therefore I ask for sponsorship to
put it in *experimental* in order to begin a transition procedure, having
identified four reverse-dependencies.

If time permits, I would be happy to get feedback on my packaging and to
have the package uploaded.

The package is in Salsa [1].

In order to avoid an accidental upload to unstable, I have already put
*experimental* in the changelog.


Thanks a lot,
Pierre
