Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Hi, I would like to upload libav11 to unstable, which requires the recompilation of any package that links against it. A prerelease for Libav11 that passes upstream's extensive test suite is currently in debian/experimental, and I'll make sure that the final release will be done and uploaded before jessie freeze. Unlike previous transitions, this should be less painful compared to Libav10 or Libav9, because Libav11 maintains full source-code compatibility, cf. to the release announcement: https://libav.org/news.html: The API remains backward compatible, so no source changes should be required in the code that works with Libav 10. We note however, that a number of obsolete APIs remain deprecated and will be removed in the future. All users are strongly encouraged to update their code. A work in progress migration guide can be found at our wiki. If you are still having difficulty after reading the migration guide, please do not hesitate to file a report in our Bugzilla. We have a special category for porting issues. Proposed ben file: Affected: .build-depends ~ /lib(avcodec|avformat|avutil|device|filter|avresample)-dev/ Bad: .depends ~ /lib(avcodec55|avformat55|avutil53|device54|filter4|avresample1)/ Good: .depends ~ /lib(avcodec56|avformat56|avutil54|device55|filter5|avresample2)/ Moritz, do you still have the infrastructure and/or scripts that you used for the libav10 test rebuild so that we can verify that everything still builds with libav11? I can give it a shot but unlikely before this weekend. If not, maybe someone else would be willing to fill in? -- regards, Reinhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
