Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Dear release team, We would like to move the new DPDK LTS release 18.11-1 from experimental to unstable. This breaks the various libraries ABI compat, so a transition is needed. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dpdk The new DPDK packages are all in experimental, having passed the NEW que ue, and have built on all supported architectures. Note that from this project follows a boost-like model, so the ABI revision is named after the upstream major version (eg: librte- eal17.11 -> librte-eal18.11). This is done because most libraries built from DPDK break ABI compat on every single major release. Reverse build dependency source packages: collectd: The reverse dependency builds needs a source update to build with this new version, to do with autoconf. The fix has been merged upstream [1] and backported to the stable branch currently in sid [2]. I have opened a bug and attached a patch, which I verified works [3]. It seems like there's another bug which should be fixed to allow migration, but the change is quite simple. I have prepared a source NMU which I could upload if necessary. Note that although collectd only recommends the dpdk libraries, it does so because the plugin is optional. The plugin still needs to be rebuilt against the new libraries ABIs to work. virtio-forwarder: This package has never entered testing as of yet, due to another bug (which seems very simple to solve). The issue with DPDK is that virtio- forwarder imports DPDK's makefiles rather than shipping its own, and these are deprecated. I reported this downstream [4] and upstream [5]. Given it's not in testing I have not yet prepared a patch. I might do so in the next few days. Thanks! -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi [1] https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/3015 [2] https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/3017 [3] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=915419 [4] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=915417 [5] https://github.com/Netronome/virtio-forwarder/issues/3
