[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] irssi 1.1.1 upload, abi breakage

[Rhonda D'Vine]

     Hi there,

 just to let you know I plan to upload irssi 1.1.1 to unstable within
the next few days, which will result in a breakage for not being able to
load your module package anymore:

23:23 -!- Irssi: otr/otr is ABI version 7 but Irssi is version 13, cannot load
23:23 -!- Irssi: robustirc/core is ABI version 7 but Irssi is version 13, cannot load
23:23 -!- Irssi: robustirc/fe is ABI version 7 but Irssi is version 13, cannot load
23:23 -!- Irssi: robustirc/core is ABI version 7 but Irssi is version 13, cannot load
23:23 -!- Irssi: xmpp/core is ABI version 7 but Irssi is version 13, cannot load
23:23 -!- Irssi: Error loading module xmpp/fe: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/irssi/modules/libfe_xmpp.so: undefined symbol: xmpp_subscription
23:23 -!- Irssi: xmpp/core is ABI version 7 but Irssi is version 13, cannot load

 I will add a "Breaks" into the upload to the version of your current
module version with a <= comparison.  On the other hand, I just did a
testbuild of the current source in unstable against the new version of
irssi and it builds without any changes, so it should be just a matter
to file binNMUs to fix that Breaks (which I think is needed for upgrade
reasons anyway).  See this as a headsup for the plan, please let me know
if you see any issue with that approach.


 There also was some discussion raised last time to maybe offer some
"Provides: irssi-abi-$" and have the modules depend on that instead of
irssi directly.  If anyone has knowledge in how to accomplish that
please get in touch with me so that I can look into getting that set up
and coordinated with you lot. :)

 Enjoy,
Rhonda
