Dear maintainer, I have uploaded a new upstream release of ppp to experimental. As you may be aware, new upstream releases of ppp cause ABI breaks, so the version of your package currently in sid will stop working. A new upload of your package will be required in order for it to remain functional. With this release of ppp I am also including a new dh_ppp tool in the ppp-dev package. This will help to avoid having to make manual changes to packages in future by automatically generating the correct dependencies on binary packages. If your package build system also requires the path to the ppp plugins directory, the dh_ppp tool is able to provide that. This should allow future ABI transitions to be tracked using the release team's "ben" transition tracker, and packages should only require a binary-only NMU to build against the new ABI. I have prepared a patch for your package to enable to build against the new version of ppp currently in experimental. I will add the patch to this bug very shortly (once I have a bug number to add to the changelog). I plan to upload ppp-2.4.7 to sid on Friday, 4 December 2015. You will need to upload a patched version of your package on or shortly after that date. Regards, Chris (ppp maintainer) -- Chris Boot deb...@bootc.net GPG: 8467 53CB 1921 3142 C56D C918 F5C8 3C05 D9CE EEEE
