Hi release team folks, I have just uploaded a new version of ppp to experimental. That upload requires packages that build pppd plugins to be rebuilt due to a change in the pppd ABI. I would like to upload that package to sid as soon as feasible. This is the first opportunity we've had to try my new plugin ABI tracking technique. I've given the ben file below a try myself and I think it does the right thing, but I would appreciate any comments you might have about it. I have manually rebuilt all affected packages and all build fine so binNMUs should be the only thing required for all of them. Note that connman seems to be a package to newly depend on ppp-dev and builds a pppd plugin but it doesn't use my dh_ppp helper. I will be filing a bug against that package (including a patch) shortly. Even without said patch a binNMU is sufficient (and required) for binary compatibility with the new ppp upload. Ben file: title = "ppp"; is_affected = .build-depends ~ /ppp-dev/; is_good = .depends ~ /ppp \(<< 2.4.7-3~\)/ | .breaks ~ /ppp \(>= 2.4.7-3~\)/; is_bad = .depends ~ /ppp \(<< 2.4.7-2~\)/ | .breaks ~ /ppp \(>= 2.4.7-2~\)/;
