Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Hi, Upstream for libupnp has changed the soname for the stable branch from libupnp3 to libupnp6, as a result of the ABI changes in version 1.6 over the last few years. As the maintainer of libupnp3 in Debian I am planning to follow this transition. I am not a DD so I would appreciate help with NMUs. I believe the following other binary packages in testing/unstable are affected: amule-daemon (src:amule) djmount (src:djmount) gmediaserver (src:gmediaserver) vlc-nox (src:vlc) wmaloader (src:wmaloader) Just for info, affected packages from Squeeze which are not affected in unstable: eiskaltdcpp (src:eiskaltdcpp), no longer depends on libupnp at all. I believe that none of the API changes are relevant to the Debian dependencies, except for one removal which I've reverted in conjunction with upstream. However due to changes in header inclusion, some packages will need source level patches. Also, the following packages Build-Depend on libupnp3-dev rather than libupnp-dev so will need a packaging change and NMU. amule djmount vlc I'll provide individual dependent bugs and patches in due course. Note also, libupnp6 introduces support for IPv6, so apps should be prepared to receive and handle IPv6, including address/fd size changes. All suggestions for smoothest transition gratefully accepted :-) Thanks Nick -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (600, 'stable-updates'), (600, 'stable'), (450, 'oldstable'), (120, 'testing'), (3, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-bpo.2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
