* Package name : nettle4 Version : 4.0 Upstream Contact: Niels Möller <[email protected]> * URL : http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/ * License : LGPL-3+ or GPL-2+ Programming Lang: C Description : low level cryptographic library (symmetric and one-way cryptos) [...] Hello, I intend to upload nettle version 4 as a separate source package with a versioned development package to experimental. Nettle v4 breaks both ABI and API compared to v3. Having it available in experimental allows us to do test builds and allows rdep-authors to work on the transition. I had originally proposed this way forward in #1127833 in February but afaict the maintainer did not yet find the time to do this. I do not intend to hijack nettle as present in stable/testing/sid, this is about testing. cu Andreas -- "You people are noisy," Nia said. I made the gesture of agreement.
