It's been a little over a month since my announcement to debian-devel that I would be preparing to remove the tiff3 package from debian and asking people to switch build dependencies on libtiff4-dev to libtiff-dev. There are 64 packages that have a version in either testing, unstable, or experimental that have a build dependency on libtiff4-dev. I'm about to do the mass bug filing. The text of the mass bug filing is the following:
----- The libtiff4-dev package is a transitional package that is going to disappear soon. Please update your build dependency from libtiff4-dev to libtiff-dev. ----- At this point, libtiff4-dev has actually been an alias for libtiff5-dev for several weeks, so this is basically a no-op for almost all packages. I am using the user tag libtiff4-dev (with user [email protected]) to mark the bug reports. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=libtiff4-dev;[email protected] -- Jay Berkenbilt <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
