Dear Release Team, Please schedule a transition for octave 6.4, which is currently in experimental. All Octave add-ons need to be recompiled, because of a change in the interface exposed to them. Note that, due to an upstream change, Octave add-ons no longer explicitly link against Octave libraries (i.e. those libraries are no longer in the ELF DT_NEEDED section, which is not an issue since they are dynamic loadable modules). As a consequence, we have decided to drop the (shared library) liboctaveN package. The shared libraries are now installed in private locations, per policy, and following upstream practice. We now exclusively rely on pseudo-package octave-abi-NN for tracking ABI requirements. The transition should be straightforward. Our expectation is that only one package (nlopt) will need a sourceful upload, and we will take care of it. Here is the Ben file (note that it’s different from the autogenerated one): title = "octave6.4"; is_affected = .depends ~ /liboctave8|octave-abi-55|octave-abi-56/; is_good = .depends ~ /octave-abi-56/; is_bad = .depends ~ /liboctave8|octave-abi-55/; Thanks, -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://www.debian.org
