Dear Release Team, I’d like to request a freeze exception to trigger a transition for libquotient. I’ve uploaded it to experimental and it only has 2 rdeps: - neochat, rebuilds fine with the new lib, - quaternion, needs a new upstream release, that I also already uploaded to experimental. We (the Qt/KDE Team) would very much like to see this hapening because it would allow us to ship an up-to-date version of the Neochat Matrix client that is currently blocked to an older version due to libquotient. We expect the impact to be minimal since only 2 leaf packages are affected and they both actively support the new version of the lib. This is coming late in the cycle but unfortunately the original maintainer didn’t have the bandwidth to update the library and after discussing with them we’ve decided that the Qt/KDE Team could adopt the package to unblock the situation. It’s not like we’re waking up at the last moment either, we’ve made sure that the other 183 source packages from the KDE Gear set that Debian is shipping are up-to-date, and helped other maintainers updating their packages in the process. Neochat is the only one that’s missing. Thanks, -- Aurélien Ben file: title = "libquotient"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libquotientqt6-0.8" | .depends ~ "libquotientqt6-0.9"; is_good = .depends ~ "libquotientqt6-0.9"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libquotientqt6-0.8";
