Yes, no one is looking at this transition currently. I like my original suggestion of keeping gexiv2 for the new source package and introducing a gexiv2-0.14 source package for the older version as a hint to people that gexiv2 is the preferred version. I don't know how big the differences are but I assume we'll need to keep both versions for a while. For Ubuntu's purposes, Ubuntu ideally would only have one version of gexiv2 in main at a time. There are 3 reverse dependencies in Ubuntu main: - localsearch - nautilus - shotwell Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
