Subject: please provide libvdeplug2-dev for "easy" build-depending

Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:03:37 +0400

Package: src:vde2
Version: 2.3.2-2
Severity: important
Tags: wheezy sid

Current version of vde2 in sid has -dev package named
"libvdeplug-dev" instead of previously used "libvdeplug2-dev".
New package does not Provides: libvdeplug2-dev.  This makes
impossible to upload other packages depending on libvdeplug --
since version in testing does not have libvdeplug-dev.  As
far as I can see your intention was to simplify usage of the
library, but you made it more difficult, did not notify uses
of the library, and finally now blocking important security
update of qemu-kvm package to enter wheezy -- because it
depends on libvdeplug2-dev (since I didn't know you renamed
it) and it is not installable on sid.

For qemu-kvm I'm re-uploading it now, to build-depend on
libvdeplug-dev|libvdeplug2-dev, which is obviously less easy,
just to have the important bugfix to go.

Thanks!

Don't be in hurry: you need to fix it in _sid_ (unstable), not
in testing which has previous version still (hopefully anyway).

Please note that I already uploaded new version of qemu-kvm (a
package which prompted me to file this bugreport) with "fixed"
build-dependency (libvdeplug-dev | libvdeplug2-dev).  I'll keep
it this way for at least wheezy+, due to squeeze-backports.

Do you mean libvdeplug2-dev instead of libvdeplug-dev?  The latter
has just been introduced, so I see no good reason to deprecate it.

Please don't do that soon, keep it for wheezy+.  You'll be making
it harder for squeeze->wheezy migration.  For -dev packages it is
not as important for libraries, but there's just no reason to be
in hurry here.

Thank you for taking care of this!

Indeed the absence of Provides: makes transitions to testing harder. I'm
about to upload vde2-2.3.2-3 with the Provides you suggested and
urgency=high.

Hopefully this version of vde2 will migrate to testing in a few days
(2.3.2-2 would have been migrated today if it not was for the
libvdeplug2-dev issue, so I feel safe to put urgency=high for .3 and
have it migrate in 2 days).

After the migration it's clearly deprecated to use libvdeplug-dev as
build dependency. We'll take care to contact other maintainers and
inform them about the change, and we'll remove again the Provides: line
once it's safer to do so.

Sorry for the inconvenience. :-)

I obviously meant "libvdeplug2-dev".

Well, actually the testing version is *really* old and has definitely
more bugs than the unstable one, so I'd rather not delay the
migration for other 10 days. :-) Since I did no modifications in 2.3.2-3
w.r.t. 2.3.2-2 except for the Provides: line, I don't expect that
2.3.2-3 will generate many more RC bugs than 2.3.2-2 did.

Makes sense.

Yes, I corrected myself in another mail.

We'd just try to make sure that people stop using libvdeplug2-dev unless
they need to, as "sooner or later" it would be nice to get rid of this
package name. So it will stay as long as it's needed for smooth
upgrades/migrations.
