Well I think our first order goal is to provide support for build-deps which haven't migrated yet; I don't think that we should consider these additional packages to download and install to be more important. > > > nip2 - FTBFS > > Ok, these would go away (and I would guess xine-lib as well, as it > > uses Wand) if you move the Provides to wand-dev. > Isn't it acceptable to fix these packages that FTBFS and keep the > provides only on libmagickcore-dev? Eventually we will fix all packages, but this would be trading human time against computer time; I'd rather have the provides pull everything for compatibility. I spent some time fixing a couple rbdeps I own; I'm happy to fix any other I can fix in Debian, and even help poking maintainers for some more, but I'd really like the transition to be as smooth as possible. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
