[Pkg-gnutls-maint] Test rebuilding gnutls rdepends?

Hello Lucas,

I am ready to be shot down, but I am going to ask nicely nevertheless.
;-)

-------------
<nutmeg> Has Debian yet got a rebuild-farm? I'd like to (try to)
  rebuild gnutls rdepends against 2.1.5 but would rather not do it at
  home.
<aba> nutmeg: ask lucas
-------------

gnutls recently broke its API, some interfaces were removed, some were
deprecated and some were changed. Usually this means that the -dev
package needs to change its name and anything build-depending on it
will have a sourceful change. However I *suspect* that none of the
changed interfaces are actuall/widely used in Debian, and I should be
able to keep the libgnutls-dev name.

To make sure, I would like to try to rebuild all rdepends against old
and libgnutls-dev, checking for _new_ build-failures and warnings.
Have you got the infrastructure to do this without much effort on your
side and would you be willing to do it? (I would like to end up with
bunch of buillogs.)

cu andreas
