Hi Sebastian,

Apologies for this: I had discussed this on #debian-devel on 2020-02-04 with (amongst others) elbrus, at which time I pinged the maintainers of wlroots on IRC, but waited 10 days before the upload and missed that the soft freeze window had started. The delay & forgetting was mostly due to some mess elsewhere in Debian eating up all my energy; I can tell you privately if it's relevant, but it might suffice to say that antiharassment@ and DAM were involved. >_>' > The purpose of this bug is to block wlroots from migrating to testing.

Would it still be possible (assuming that's also Guido's preferred solution) to request an unblock? I uploaded at the same time a version of sway that works with it (which I've been running for >1 month, so it's been tested) and confirmed that phox builds against wlroots 0.12 too. Guido mentionned he is running phox against wlroots 0.12, so that is tested too. For reference, the ABI breakage & soname change is due to wlroots making some part of its API private, and removing obsolete & unstable functionality (functions wlr_xdg_*_v6_*), which account for the largest part of the diff. I attached the debdiff, and upstream's changelog is there: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/releases/tag/0.12.0 I believe that having the same ABI and API as upstream's in Bullseye would make maintaining wlroots easier, but I'll of course yield to Guido's opinion on this. Again, apologies to everyone involved for the poor coordination; as I mentionned, I'm recovering from dealing with something else, but I still should have held back on kicking off this transition & re-checked with everyone involved. Best, nicoo
