Bug#875485: transition: tracker

[Jeremy Bicha]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org

I request permission to start the tracker/tracker-miners 1.99 transition.
Those 2 packages are staged already in experimental. This will require
sourceful uploads for all the rdepends listed in the auto-tracker for
tracker. I believe all the rdepends are maintained by the pkg-gnome
team except for bijiben.

I intend to NMU bijiben 3.24.1 as part of this transition. I have
gotten no reply from the maintainer:
https://bugs.debian.org/866633
https://bugs.debian.org/874384

This transition will make it easier to package several pieces of GNOME
3.26 which uses tracker 1.99/2.0 as its baseline.

(Ubuntu successfully completed this transition several weeks ago.)
