Hi Release Team, hi pkg-kde (and a couple of BCC's just as a FYI)
(not subscribed to -release, please CC me)
After having spent quite some time today looking at the current kdecoration2
mess (tracked at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350964 , at
debian:796194, debian:796184 and probably many more)
The crash happens around when a std::function (a c++11 feature) is passed
across a library boundary and some parts of it is built with gcc5 and others
with 4.9.
According to Matthias Klose, upstream actually gives no guarantees for for
their abi for c++11, so I guess the steps forward should be:
1) Immediately binNMU src:kdecoration2 in testing, then when that is done,
binNMU src:kwin, src:oxygen and src:breeze all in testing. (that's for release
team)
2) At the same time, do a library transition for libkdecoration2-5 and rename
it to libkdecoration2-5v5 and binNMU the rdeps (the same as mentioned above)
3) And add std::function to the list of types in interfaces to be careful
about when looking if a package should be renamed or not.
I'm leaving debconf tonight and is likely not able to do anything of the above
for the near future, so I hope someone picks it up on it.
Have fun,
/Sune
