Dear Release Team, The bobcat source package 6.09.00 introduces an API change that will require sourceful uploads of a subset of packages that have build dependencies on libbobcat-dev. The following packages will FTBFS once bobcat >= 6.09.00 (currently in experimental) enters unstable: bisonc++ c++-annotations multispeech ssh-cron Once/if the transition is approved, I will file bugs against all of the affected build r-deps and mark those packages as affected by the transition bug. At that point, I will prepare patches and uploads for the affected r-deps, and *then* we should be ready for the upload and transition. Note that (3) of these will be trivial, as the upstream author of bobcat is also the upstream author of bisonc++, c++-annotations, and ssh-cron and has already prepared fixes as new upstream versions. Any suggestions are welcome, Thank you, tony Here is the proposed ben file: title = "bobcat"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libbobcat6"; is_good = .depends ~ "libbobcat6" & >= "6.09.00"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libbobcat6" & << "6.09.00;
