-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear Release Team, I'd like to transition libgit2 after a SONAME bump. The current "stable" release 1.8.1 introduced a const correctness change that would require sourceful uploads for many reverse dependencies. As upstream has pretty much immediately reverted that change in 1.8.2~rc1, I decided to save us the trouble and go with that release. The Python language bindings are maintained by me and transition-ready. The Ruby bindings need two minor patches [1]. The Rust team is prepared for the move to libgit2 1.8 with the latest rustc update; it is possible they also need to patch for the reverted const correctness change after I updated to 1.8.2~rc1. I've also successfully rebuilt calligra as a random test sample from the remaining non-Rust reverse dependencies locally. The Ben tracker at https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-libgit2.html looks good. Cheers Timo [1] https://bugs.debian.org/1081285 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEmwPruYMA35fCsSO/zIxr3RQD9MoFAmbmptQACgkQzIxr3RQD 9MossA/7BuOObG9LhG1FD6RhVlByJrFWEjOAmiL3W2l3RtaElF4QGCmGt2VMB60L kKpyfES//2YykKM14AGz7p2S2HqvBoY6ECZPFh4VVzGXWic5eLGnVTqyZ6uKTRX/ JRjEjEIBeegIKva9zcbZ4N2NE7ARuejIsZuerGohVtojorFTwO/aWrOylFrJo5S4 0ojDAhge5LuvDz2KKWcH9XRjrKnnS5NTRtHV/XpT9mkayZskpSnq7tZMuTfCAbsF s9wUDmgh2GDqfHxpKrgp8ZTCgRRkSsDlZ6EOSUwWeg7km7sw6rWXDx0qVkQiSIDK rZrTRN9fKs/ROC3GH/O13M3hs3Uvcr+OjeC5WVL8Uj9J8ZJNYvEHGK7LQsUXmuUq cS1JaDxCWjsYfyQe50qBz3X6Jf/XXfSrtr2xYt+CkeT/I5+nW2WWgX7tuo9GVl2b XkQBt2X6RxaiU+KY0TLyv1CjKeU7nOQ2i2o6+JHthjHkeHSlXbm9lMwaNLNq7fRF 68Tf65/E6LWKGbUr7sR4TQaoQJHrU7E1qpumXmkc9jOjgFcRF+emDwulkzZKQ0sX SyybWNcS0IbMnrlRQPsGb7dCoGnnCylwlG0f0Su2eH+fOOorZgm+5z0iBA8VHdL6 Bi7LKIWBscTP9qZySxAsEHJE+CRH8hvMXjdcZVTIq7r0hMurW6k= =Hy1W -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
