** Description changed: There is a big transition for Rust packages for GNOME 49 (updating rust- glib to 0.21, rust-gtk4 to 0.10, etc.). Removing these packages would allow completion of the transition sooner: - rust-swtchr - rust-glycin - rust-glycin-utils rust-swtchr has no reverse dependencies rust-glycin* has no reverse dependencies since we previously removed shortwave. Note this is different than the 'glycin' source package which is vendored in Ubuntu and included in the default Ubuntu install. All these removed packages will need source changes in Debian and can be synced from Debian once they are fixed. + + More Info + ========= + rust-glycin has 2 issues: + - The Debian Rust automated packaging doesn't handle beta releases well, but the version compatible with the new Rust GNOME packages is only a beta + - rust-glycin entangles the large Rust GNOME transition with the large Rust zerocopy/pyo3 transition. The pyo3 transition is complicated because the new version of rust-breezyshim requires rustc 1.86 but Ubuntu 25.10 uses rustc 1.85 as default. + + I started the zerocopy/pyo3 transition in Ubuntu because it was needed + by the new rust-glycin to finish the Rust GNOME transition. I've begun + looking into how to untangle rust-breezyshim but finishing the Rust + GNOME transition would make it easier to see the current state of the + remaining zerocopy/po3 transition.
