So britney still ignores Build-Depends? Otherwise subversion is clogged behind swig1.3 and pike7.6, which would be really no good. >> (This is a prereq for getting libpng in.) > > And that really shouldn't be anything we need to rush on. Except that the KDE transition is now delayed by it. As I noted, a very large number of KDE-dependenct packages -- most of which are otherwise ready to go -- have the overly strict dependency on new libpng, including kdesdk, which is not a good removal candidate. <snip> >> Getting libpng in shouldn't be a prereq for KDE, but some stuff is kind >> of tied up with it. > >> This means additional binNMU candidates: > > I don't think this is something we should worry about until we confirm > that it's a blocker; otherwise it just spends buildd cycles for nothing. Yeah, so libpng first. :-) Either libpng will have to go in first, or there will have to be lots of binNMUs or other new KDE uploads, or a lot of packages will have to be removed or made uninstallable. I don't know which, but I'm quite sure it will be one of the above. >> It may make more sense to put GNOME 1 and libpng through first, though >> I really detest delaying KDE for these things. > > I'm not actually convinced that the KDE hint is that close to being ready. I ache for KDE to get in. ;-) Sigh. > I need to see what britney has to say about uninstallables when hinting > the libraries in; there may be a number of leaf packages that still need > dealing with before the whole mess can go in. I've identified some KDE tie-ins in other messages which will have to be dealt with. With your current hint, britney will identify a bunch of flac-dependent packages, the icu-dependent packages, and probably a few other clusters which I've already identified. I'm not sure what the point of running a hint known to be insufficient is, so I suggest you add those known tree roots to the same hint. There's so much in the pile that temporarily removing a few leaf packages to let the block in is not a bad idea though. > Until that's known, I'm not going > to make any decisions about whether to push GNOME1 in before KDE.
