Hi again Andreas,
Sorry for the lack of progress.
Our goal for this 0.44.16 release was to provide a "fix" for this broken
package that simply fixes the FTBFS issues, as well as other bug fixes
and non-breaking improvements.
My understanding was that the binary names would NOT change.
Despite several competing priorities, we will try to make progress on
this within the next few weeks.
Kind regards,
-Jerome

Hi again,
I can perfectly imagine that a project like this requires resources that
are harder to gather than some simple package and I appreciate your
attempt to do this and would like to provide some help that might be
needed.
However, what we currently have in Debian is a non-functional package so
I fail to see the profit from a user perspective. Even from developers
perspective there is no advatage in keeping the current package inside
the Debian package pool. Due to the changes of the binary names you
will have to pass the Debian new queue in any case. So I'd rather tend
to remove the current Debian package and build new ones from scratch in
the freshly created packaging archive.
I will remove the moreinfo tag from this bug in one months - provided
you will not have convincing arguments that keeping the current status
quo has some advantages over removing.
Kind regards
Andreas.

Thank you very much for that Andreas.
We really just need to allocate resources to this, and this should be
possible within the next couple months.
All the best,

Thanks
Hi Jerome,
I hereby have set the bug to moreinfo which will prevent removal.
Please let me know if you need any help to move forward
Andreas.

Hi Andreas, all,
Apologies for my late answer.
I was traveling over the last couple weeks, saw the e-mail pass by,
but
forgot to reply.
We were still hoping to fix the existing package, and it seems like
it would
have been easier to fix the existing package than pass the new
queue...
I dont think we ever changed the SONAME in the previous versions, so
there
were no plans to change them again for this upcoming 0.44.16
release. The
libraries version numbers would have remained .so.0.44.
We unfortunately were not able to spend the time during the last few
months
specifically on this Debian packaging due to various reasons and
conflicting
priorities, but we are still definitely planning this 0.44.16
release which
addresses at minimum all those FTBFS bugs as soon as possible.
Kind regards,
-Jerome

Hi,
as I wrote in my last mail: There was no progress in
https://salsa.debian.org/ecere-team/ecere-sdk
and a new version needs to pass the new queue anyway due to changed
binary names. So there is no profit in keeping the currently broken
package.
Thus I'm reassigning the bug to ftp.debian.org and remove the wontfix
tag.
Kind regards
Andreas.
