Severity: normal

Usertags: transition

Hi,

in systemd v209, the various libsystemd-* libraries were merged into a
single libsystemd0 library. We still build the old libraries to not
break existing packages, though.
The libsystemd-(daemon|journal|login|id128)-dev package now point to
-lsystemd0, i.e. packages once rebuilt will link against libsystemd0 not
the old library names and we want all packages to link against the new
libsysemd0 library so we can eventually drop the compat library
packages.

Please schedule a round of binNMUs so affected packages will be rebuilt
against libsystemd0. Afaics this doesn't qualify as library transition
but it's probably easiest to find affected packages via a transition
tracker.

The ben file for it should look something like this:

title = "libsystemd";
is_affected = .depends ~ "libsystemd-(daemon|journal|login|id128-)0," | .depends ~ "libsystemd0";
is_good = .depends ~ "libsystemd0";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libsystemd-(daemon|journal|login|id128-)0,";


The binNMU could be something like "Rebuild against libsystemd0"

Thanks for considering,

Michael

Given this isn't a real transition, that nothing will happen if it
isn't completed before the freeze, and that it's already ongoing,
I'm confirming it. I'll have a look scheduling binNMUs later if nobody
beats me to it.

This looks to be complete, so you can withdraw the old libraries now and
ask ftp-masters to decruft them so systemd can migrate.

Thanks,
