mini-freeze for apt/libsigc++/gtkmm2.0

2005-10-16 Thread Steve Langasek
Hi all, This is a quick note to let you know that things are nearly ready to allow updates of apt, libsigc++1.2, gtkmm2.0, and related packages into etch as part of the C++ ABI transition. At this point, the main blocker is perl, which is expected to be a candidate for testing soon once a new upl

ftp.debian.org: Please remove mips build of (non-free) parmetis 3.1-2

2005-10-16 Thread Adam C Powell IV
Package: ftp.debian.org Greetings, Apparently, someone hand-built version 3.1-2 of my parmetis package for mips, and this is one of the blockers for about 20 packages going into testing. Please remove that version (and/or build 3.1-3 for mips :-). Thanks, -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B1

KDE transition

2005-10-16 Thread Thomas Bushnell BSG
The big elephant being swallowed by the snake of the gcc-4 transition is currently the KDE libraries, right? This impacts me because gnucash/libofx/opensp can't move into testing until kmymoney2 is ready, which ties it in with all of the KDE transition. Is there a web page that tracks the curren

png/imlib transition and openssl

2005-10-16 Thread Thomas Bushnell BSG
The png/imlib transition is now done, I believe. All the packages that directly depend on png or the other libraries in turn are uploaded, and once they have been built by the lagging autobuilders and aged, they can be hinted in. But there is a hiccup. One package that directly depends on libpn

Hmm, a list of binary packages would probably be more useful for purposes of checking out what warrants a rebuild. OK, I'll work on it. :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
