Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Release Team, This has been pending for a long time, and while the pieces have been mostly there, I've dropped the ball and did not proceed with the transition earlier. Apologies for this and for the last minute submission! So, I'd like to ask for permission to upload jemalloc 5.1.0-2 to sid: - stretch/buster have 3.6.0-11, a pretty old upstream version, and also presenting some long-standing issues like #843926 (hard-coded page sizes at build time). - 5.1.0-1 has been in experimental since May 2018, and has successfully been built on all official architectures (and all debian-ports except hurd-i386 and riscv64). I have not made an upload to unstable, but can do so as soon as you give me the green light. - This newer version uses a slightly different ABI and thus has a new SONAME and binary package, libjemalloc2 (vs. libjemalloc1), so this requires a transition. API is (mostly) the same -- the exception being what was an experimental API that has been now dropped and replaced by a stable one. - Adam Borowski (Cc'ed), who was interested in this and pinged me about it recently, ran a rebuild of all rdepds and encountered and reported only one FTBFS among packages in testing, #914814 affecting spades, which was using the aforementioned experimental API and -as of a few minutes ago- has a patch attached. - Ubuntu apparently imported 5.1.0-1 to their distribution back in May, and shipped their Cosmic stable release with it ([1] says "Copied from debian experimental in Primary Archive for Debian GNU/Linux by Steve Langasek"), apparently with no ill effects(?) Let me know if there are any questions and thanks for your work and consideration!
