I just double checked -- even though it might be possible to have both old and new versions of libgnustep-base and libgnustep-gui, the old version of gnustep-back cannot be installed at the same time as the new gnustep-make, since gnustep-back tries to put files in /usr/lib/GNUstep/.../Fonts and .../Documentation, which are now symlinks in gnustep-make, and so they conflict. Since libgnustep-gui is pretty much useless without gnustep-back, I don't think there's any point to trying to fix the dependencies to make the libraries co-installable. >> At least two of the packages that I know of are involved in the other >> transitions: pdfkit.framework (C++), and cynthiune.app (C++, flac). >> The updated pdfkit.framework for libstdc++6 is already in testing, as >> is the updated cynthiune.app for libstdc++6 and libflac7.

I checked all the GNUstep packages (or at least all the packages that "apt-cache search gnustep" found), and AFAICT, there are no other packages that are part of any other current library transitions. Since pdfkit.framework and cynthiune.app are already in testing, does this mean we can go forward with uploading our new packages to sid?
