Most of those FTBFS are completely unrelated to this transition. Thus the affected packages will either get fixed by their maintainers or auto-removed from testing, totally independently of the transition to FFmpeg. Only gpac, gst-libav1.0 and taoframework would FTBFS due to the transition. The first two can be fixed at any time (patches exist), but taoframework hardcodes the sonames and thus can only be updated after the transition has started. > If I was a Release Team member, I wouldn't allow anything to happen > before all that mess is fixed. Calling this a mess is a little bit exaggerated, when comparing with previous Libav transitions... > Feel free to retry a call for transition once the list is empty. It's quite unreasonable to expect this list to get empty. It hasn't been empty at any point during the past year and I don't expect gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg will ever get fixed. (That aside, taoframework will always be on the list, as it hardcodes the sonames...) Patches for all FTBFS issues caused by the transition to FFmpeg are available/trivial, so the affected packages could be NMUed, once the transition starts. This should be all preparation the Release Team could possibly want.
