[pkg-crosswire-devel] tasks for transition

[Daniel Glassey]

Hi Teus,

Here are some tasks to get ready for the transition.

Please work on all the applications that have a build dependency on
libsword-dev.

Create a debian/experimental branch in the salsa team git repo for the
application. Do the changes there along with any other changes you are
working on.

Change that dependency to be on libsword-dev 1.8.1 alone but >= the version
in experimental. Change the changelog so that the upload will go to
experimental.

If you have a Debian unstable vm or a chroot that you know how to run gui
applications on then build the package locally and install it and make sure
it works.

Do not upload them until sword 1.8.1-6 gets through the NEW queue and all
the release architectures build it. Let us know before you are ready to
upload to experimental.

Research Debian transitions and let us know what you find are the steps we
will need to go through.

Regards,
Daniel
