Hi,

Some weeks ago I uploaded directfb 1.0.1-2 to experimental. I've
successfully built the following packages, which are the only ones
really Build-Depending on libdirectfb-dev:

  In unstable
  -----------
  directvnc_0.7.5-8
  freesci_0.3.5-5
  gst-plugins-bad0.10_0.10.5-4
  gtk+2.0_2.12.0-2
  libcairo_1.4.10-1
  libsdl1.2_1.2.12-1
  links2_2.1pre28-1
  mplayer (from svn)
  qingy_0.9.6-1
  xine-lib_1.1.8-1

  In experimental
  ---------------
  fusionsound_1.0.0-1
  dfb++_1.0.0-1

Packages with problems:

  splashy

  I've been in contact with the developers, and they should have a fix
  ready, which they could upload (if they have not done so yet) once
  the transition starts.

  asc

  It does not Build-Depend on directfb, but yet it has a Dependency,
  this is still an incarnation of #375924. Would need a binNMU as
  well, after libsdl1.2 has been binNMUed.

Packages Build-Depending on directfb, but not really using it:

  pigment
  gnash

  I'll be filing bug reports to these one. No action needed from d-r.


I'd like to upload to unstable once I've been given green light. The
transition should be able to be handled by me uploading the packages
from experimental to unstable, and triggering binNMUs.

thanks,
guillem
