Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Hi, We have a new libav transition pending. Libav 10 is prepared in debian/experimental, and I've started to build packges against this new version; in fact, more or more packages require Libav 10 and the new APIs it provides. Unfortunately, this new release does break a number of packages in the debian archive. At upstream, we are concerned about this and have conducted a survey about the fallout here: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/mnrZI5XlxP Most projects have been fixed upstream already, some other are rather easy to fix (e.g., simple renames such as CODEC_ID -> AV_CODEC_ID, etc.). In order to help with porting, Libav provides a migration guide here: https://wiki.libav.org/Migration/10 I sincerly do hope that this libav10 transition will not be as painful as libav9, but we do have a number of undermaintained packages in the archive that require upstream work. For those, I'd suggest to be a bit more aggressive with removing them from testing for the sake of having this transition done more quickly. Thanks for your assistance.
