Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Hi, FFmpeg 4.0 is the new major release of FFmpeg and as such upstream has bumped the SONAMEs of all libraries so there needs to be a transition. The new package is in experimental. It currently has a few issues, but I think all except one autopkgtest failure are fixed in git. I'll upload a new version once that is fixed. I performed a rebuild of all rdeps with a pre-release version of FFmpeg three months ago and have just done another rebuild. I have filed the bugs here (and will add them as blocking bugs of this bug): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=ffmpeg-4.0-transition;users=debian-multime...@lists.debian.org At the time of writing, there are 54 open bugs where packages FTBFS with the new version. We could delay the transition a bit to reduce the number of bugs before it starts, but given that it's been three months since most were filed, I'm not sure how much that would help. Fixing all of them myself sounds like a lot of work :) The list of packages on the transition page looks about right.
