Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Hi, As described in [1], I’d like to go ahead with a replacing the Freedesktop.org implementation of pkg-config with pkgconf. This will involve pkgconf taking over the binary package pkg-config. I’m currently running a rebuild of all packages using pkg-config [2] to determine if there are issues that need addressing during this transition. So far I found one issue [3] that affects a couple of packages, I’m going to discuss it with the pkgconf upstream. Results of a previous rebuild from the last year are available at [4], but they’re not very relevant anymore as some packages are no longer in Debian, and some failures were unrelated to pkgconf itself. The current pkg-config maintainer gave me a go-ahead [5], so I’d like to start with the process as soon as possible. Thanks, Andrej [1]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/07/msg00252.html [2]: http://pkgconf-migration.debian.net/ [3]: https://bugs.debian.org/1016922 [4]: http://pkgconf-migration.debian.net/old/ [5]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/09/msg00271.html
