Hi release team!<br>
<br>
I'd like to update Erlang for trixie to new major release Erlang 27<br>
which is due in upcoming May or June. Since currently Erlang 25 is<br>
in Debian (two major releases short) I expect some failures of<br>
rebuilding existing packages (Erlang 27 introduces new expressions,<br>
removes some deprecated functions etc.).<br>
<br>
I've already uploaded erlang 1:27.0+dfsg~rc3 to experimental for testing and<br>
started to check if the affected packaged build (at least).<br>
<br>
My plan is the following:<br>
<br>
1. Finish testing all the reverse dependencies with rc3 and upcoming 1:27.0+dfsg,<br>
file bugreports.<br>
2. Elang 27 build depends on a few packages which aren't in testing or<br>
even in Debian yet:<br>
* autoconf (>= 2.72), it is in experimetal at the moment, see [1]<br>
* node-fontsource-inconsolata, node-fontsource-lato,<br>
* node-fontsource-merriweather, they are used to build documentation<br>
(currently Erlang in experimental is built without docs) and sit in<br>
NEW (see [2], [3], [4]). By the way is this normal that the are in NEW<br>
for two months without any resolution?<br>
3. So after these packages clear unstable, and after 1:27.0.1 is out<br>
(June or July 2024), I'll upload Erlang to unstable and likely do<br>
a bunch of NMUs to fix remaining bugs. There will be necessary<br>
to do quite a few bin-NMUs also.<br>
<br>
Here is the list of affected packages with short comments where I did<br>
some testing:<br>
<br>
# Broken (not in testing)<br>
<br>
averell<br>
ejabberd<br>
ejabberd-contrib (builds fine, depends on ejabberd)<br>
erlang-cowboy<br>
erlang-p1-pgsql (builds fine, depends on erlang-p1-xml)<br>
erlang-ranch<br>
erlang-p1-xmpp (builds fine, depends on erlang-p1-xml)<br>

erlang-p1-pkix<br>
erlang-p1-sqlite3<br>
erlang-p1-tls<br>

kamailio (uses only C interface to Erlang, FTBFS is unrelated to Erlang)<br>
mochiweb (fix of rebar3 dependencis should help)<br>
elixir (patch is ready, also upcoming 1.17 will support Erlang 27 explicitly)<br>
rebar3 (updating to 3.23.0 works, have to update dependencies, e.g. erlang-inets is missing for 27)<br>
wings3d (patch is ready)<br>
yaws (patch is ready)<br>
<br>

<br>
The Ben file below should correctly determine the affected packages, but<br>
definitely does not cover all possible cases of bad and good packages<br>
(some of them require elixir instead of erlang-base, for example)<br>
<br>
Ben file:<br>
<br>
title = "erlang";<br>
is_affected = .build-depends ~ /dh-rebar|erlang-dev|erlang-base|rebar|rebar3/;<br>
is_good = .depends ~ /erlang-base (>= 1:27/;<br>
is_bad = .depends ~ /erlang-base (>= 1:(1|2[0-6])/;<br>
