Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: a...@packages.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:apt User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
We'd like to do a transition of APT, not before January. We still have some ABI breaks to enqueue in the repo. My plan is to get the final bits in during xmas season. We have an issue where our ABI is not stable right now: We inadvertently re-export C++ standard library symbols, but our version script adds a version to them, and then ld at link time resolves references to libstdc++ functions to their apt ones in libapt-pkg reverse dependencies. We can fix this by hiding all std:: exports, which is WIP, but breaks the ABI more, so we just need to be a bit careful the next couple weeks. There's plausibly some minor API breaks (APT::StringView is replaced by std::string_view). Mostly I just desperately need to add a new field to a class, though. I usually fix all reverse dependencies as it's less than 10 or so. This should aid dist-upgrades hopefully, as the new libapt-pkg will be co-installable with the old one.
