[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#1099081: transition: gnustep-base, gnustep-gui, gworkspace

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-gnustep-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
Control: affects -1 + src:gnustep-base src:gnustep-gui src:gworkspace

We at the GNUstep team would like to request a transition slot for a
simultaneous (combined) transition of three libraries:

  libgnustep-base1.30 -> 1.31
  libgnustep-gui0.31 -> 0.32
  libinspector0 -> 1

The only reverse-dependency that FTBFS is gnustep-dl2 (#1096111) but
the fixed package is already in testing.  As always during GNUstep
library transitions, gnustep-back will require a sourceful upload.

The ben file for gnustep-base will need a little correction to take
into account universal-detector:

is_affected = .depends ~ /\b(libgnustep\-base1\.31|libgnustep\-base1\.30)\b/ | .source ~ /universal-detector/;
is_good = .depends ~ /\b(libgnustep\-base1\.31|gnustep\-base\-abi\-1\.31)\b/;
is_bad = .depends ~ /\b(libgnustep\-base1\.30|gnustep\-base\-abi\-1\.30)\b/;

Both bookworm and bullseye shipped with outdated GNUstep core
libraries so we would very much like to avoid that in trixie.
Thanks for considering.
