[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#725951: transition: libgphoto2

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

Hi,

libgphoto2 is currently open for adoption and lag behind some versions
(new versions that seems to fix some issues for some users, including
me).

Martin Pitt has aggreed to do a NMU/QA upload in debian with the latest
version, as he did in Ubuntu (see: #711831).

This will require a transition, unfortunately it will require sourceful
uploads as the soname is in the name of the -dev package.

To quote Martin from the RFA bug:

"
It does change both ABI and API quite a bit, and thus needs a
transition. I did that in Ubuntu, most rdepends work just fine, but
gphotofs and gphoto2 need new upstream versions which work against
2.5.
"

Cheers

Laurent Bigonville
