Hi, I will be removing the transitional package libfreetype6-dev (from the source package freetype) later this year.
Currently, there are 219 build-dependencies and 29 (direct) dependencies on libfreetype6-dev, which has been released with bullseye and bookworm. I plan to file bugs with severity: normal in mid-August and drop libfreetype6-dev from October. At this point, I will raise the severity of the bugs to serious. My proposed bug template: ------------------------------------------------------>8 Subject: Please build-depend on libfreetype-dev Severity: normal Usertags: libfreetype6-dev Dear maintainer, I will be removing libfreetype6-dev from Debian in October this year. libfreetype6-dev is a transitional package and was replaced by libfreetype-dev when bullseye was released. Your package currently build-depends on libfreetype6-dev. Please update your package's control file to build-depend on libfreetype-dev. If your package is not updated, it will fail to build from source once libfreetype6-dev is no longer available. This mass bug filing was discussed on debian-devel@: <url>. Thanks, Hugh ------------------------------------------------------>8 I plan to file bugs against source packages first and against any remaining binary packages later. A list of affected source and binary packages is attached. Happy to discuss if anyone has any suggestions or concerns. Hugh
