Mass bug filing: gcrypt7/gnutls10 => gcrypt11/gnutls11
|

| Hello,
I plan to do a mass bug filing (Priority: Important) tomorrow.
There are 108 (binary) packages which still depend on libcrypt7 or
gnutls10. gcrypt7/gnutls10 are not supported by Upstream. Further
rationale has been posted to d-release last week[1]. See also today's
DWN issue.
The move to gcrypt11 and gnutls11 should be painless and only require
a recompilation in most cases; this has been tested extensively. If there
are problems, I or Upstream will be happy to assist.
My goal is to have *no* packages depend on gcrypt7 or gnutls10 in Sarge.
Arguments as to why the intended Priority: is wrong will be considered.
(Flames won't be.)
[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-rele...7/msg00075.html
NB: gnutls11 depends on gcrypt11 and opencdk8. opencdk8 still depends on
gcrypt7. This is intentional, as updating opencdk8 will break d-i.
Because of symbol versioning, this is not a problem, other than a
very small waste of main memory / startup time, and it will be fixed ASAP.

This transition plan is still subject to the base freeze already in
progress.
Packages whose dependencies are already frozen for debian-installer's
benefit must not be rebuilt against gnutls11 or gcrypt11 at this time.
(AFAIK, the only package in this category is exim4.)
If and when the debootstrap maintainers agree to adding gnutls11 and
gcrypt11 to the list of base packages for sarge, it would be possible to
rebuild exim4 to use the new libraries, but this requires careful
coordination to avoid breaking the installer at an inappropriate time
(and all times between now and the sarge release are inappropriate).

I'm going to hold that off another day or two because (a) many people have
already started recompiling their code, and (b) gnutls11 hasn't built
successfully on all architectures yet -- some buildds had an old version
of opencdk8 lying around and the dependency wasn't uptodate.

82 Bugs filed. "Tomorrow" got delayed a bit, but I doubt that that anybody
had problems with that. ;-)
