Hi Jonathan,

actually I checked (both the auto-nfft page, and the release.d.o bug), and there were no
collisions with other transitions.
One package is maintained by Ghislain, and so it shouldn't be a problem, while the other has
a partial patch, and had almost one year since the first 3.3~alpha release to make some work on that
side.
I'm not saying forcing people to transition is a nice way to do things (and sorry for that).
But having 9 months to make the package compliant with the new release should be a good timeline for everybody.
Specially because I posted the build failure fix on the bug report and "two" lines needed a change.
(a variable got renamed in nfft).
BTW the particular package was even marked for autoremoval (because of RC #811223 in one b-d) when I sponsored the package,
and this was another reason for not delaying the upload anymore.
I'm sure Ghislain will finish the work in the next few days :)
cheers,
Gianfranco
