Hi Release Team, I noticed yesterday that ppl has two RC bugs and was removed from testing. I would like to take over the package and fix it, but one of the RC bugs (#811825) is best fixed by updating to the new upstream version, which requires a small library transition. Since the debian-devel-announce@l.d.o mail from November 5 said the transition freeze is only for "transitions that involve a large number of packages", I'd thought I'd ask if we can still do this transition. I already created a package of ppl 1.2 that fixes both RC bugs. ppl has two reverse dependencies, which were of course both removed from testing because of ppl: apron cloog-ppl I checked that they both build without changes against the updated ppl package. If it's too late for the transition, we'll have to see if we can fix #811825 by applying a patch that does not require a transition. Thanks, Tobias Ben file: title = "ppl"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libppl13v5" | .depends ~ "libppl14"; is_good = .depends ~ "libppl14"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libppl13v5";
