As you may have noticed, libzeep 6 finally cleared NEW. As we are well within transition freeze, transition will have to wait for after the trixie release.
So, I understand I have some time left.
Question is a bit if we need to pursue this effort, maybe it is time to remove libzeep from Debian?
libzeep is a swiss-army knife library to build web applications using C++. I've used it in many applications myself in the various jobs I had and it is used in quite a services we offer at among others the NKI. Yet, I seem to be the only one interested in building C++ web applications, even on github I get only 10 stars :'-(
So I removed the dependencies on libzeep in the few applications that still used it in Debian (tortoize and density-fitness). As far as I''m concerned, libzeep can safely be removed from Debian to reduce clutter.
But if others think it might be useful to keep, I'm okay with that. regards, -maarten
In the meantime, the package makes its way to experimental and will soon expose experimental pseudo-excuses[1]; they are not there yet though, but the package only built on experimental for only a few hours. Investigating regressions and preparing eventual patches where needed will be useful to get libzeep to transition fast after the Debian 13 release.
