[Pkg-ayatana-devel] Bug#652479: transition: libindicator, libdbusmenu, libindicate

[Evgeni Golov]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

Dear RT,

I plan to upload libindicator, libdbusmenu, libindicate to unstable,
as they currently are in experimental.
This includes soname bumps:
libindicator3 → libindicator6
libdbusmenu-glib3 → libdbusmenu-glib4
libdbusmenu-gtk3 → libdbusmenu-gtk4
libindicate-gtk2 → libindicate-gtk3
and will need binNMUs.

For the fun, upstream bumped the name of the pkgconfig file in libindicate too.

If I am not mistaken, the following packages build-depend in some way on one
of the to be uploaded:

cairo-dock-plug-ins
 - Will FTBFS, maintainer informed: #647816
clementine
 - Builds fine
guayadeque
 - Builds fine
indicator-applet
 - broken anyways :(
indicator-me
 - To be RMed: #652477
indicator-messages
 - Will get a source-full upload by me (pkg-ayatana hat)
indicator-session
 - Will get a source-full upload by me (pkg-ayatana hat)
libindicate-qt
 - Will get a source-full upload by me (pkg-ayatana hat)
openfetion
 - Builds fine
pino
 - Builds fine
plasma-widget-message-indicator
 - Builds fine
postler
 - Will FTBFS, maintainer informed: #645493
quassel
 - Builds fine
xfce4-indicator-plugin
 - Will get a source-full upload by me (pkg-xfce hat)

When I have your go, I would raise the FTBFS bugs and tell the maintainers when
breakage is to happen, then I would upload the libraries and the indicator-*
packages to unstable and ask you to binNMU the ones that rebuild fine.
If maintainers wont react, I'm happy to NMU the two packages :)

Please tell me when I can do the jump.

TIA
