Bug#1063049: visp: NMU diff for 64-bit time_t transition

[Fabien Spindler]

Dear,

Thanks for this patch. If I understand well you will apply the patch.
I don't have to apply it to the upstream. I'm right?

Regards
Fabien

> As part of the 64-bit time_t transition required to support 32-bit
> architectures in 2038 and beyond
> (https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time), we have identified
> visp as a source package shipping runtime libraries whose ABI
> either is affected by the change in size of time_t, or could not be
> analyzed via abi-compliance-checker (and therefore to be on the safe
> side we assume is affected).

> To ensure that inconsistent combinations of libraries with their
> reverse-dependencies are never installed together, it is necessary to
> have a library transition, which is most easily done by renaming the
> runtime library package.

> Since turning on 64-bit time_t is being handled centrally through a change
> to the default dpkg-buildflags (https://bugs.debian.org/1037136), it is
> important that libraries affected by this ABI change all be uploaded close
> together in time.  Therefore I have prepared a 0-day NMU for visp
> which will initially be uploaded to experimental if possible, then to
> unstable after packages have cleared binary NEW.

> there is time for us to amend the planned uploads.
