NOTICE: these changes must not be uploaded to unstable yet! Dear maintainer, As part of the 64-bit time_t transition required to support 32-bit architectures in 2038 and beyond (https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time), we have identified oss4 as a source package shipping runtime libraries whose ABI is affected by the change in size of time_t. To ensure that inconsistent combinations of libraries with their reverse-dependencies are never installed together, it is necessary to have a library transition. Since the affected library is libasound2, the actual library transition is in alsa-lib and oss4 only needs changes to its Provides: to match. Since turning on 64-bit time_t is being handled centrally through a change to the default dpkg-buildflags (https://bugs.debian.org/1037136), it is important that libraries affected by this ABI change all be uploaded close together in time. Therefore I have prepared a 0-day NMU for oss4 which will initially be uploaded to experimental, then to unstable after packages have cleared binary NEW. Please find the patch for this NMU attached. If you have any concerns about this patch, please reach out ASAP. Although this package will be uploaded to experimental immediately, there will be a period of several days before we begin uploads to unstable; so if information becomes available that your package should not be included in the transition, there is time for us to amend the planned uploads. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
