• Bug#1062613: librsb: NMU diff for 64-bit time_t transition

    Source: librsb
    Version: 1.3.0.2+dfsg-6
    Severity: serious
    Tags: patch pending
    Justification: library ABI skew on upgrade
    User: debian-arm@lists.debian.org
    Usertags: time-t

    NOTICE: these changes must not be uploaded to unstable yet!

    Dear maintainer,

    As part of the 64-bit time_t transition required to support 32-bit architectures in 2038 and beyond (https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time), we have identified
    librsb as a source package shipping runtime libraries whose ABI
    either is affected by the change in size of time_t, or could not be
    analyzed via abi-compliance-checker (and therefore to be on the safe
    side we assume is affected).

    To ensure that inconsistent combinations of libraries with their reverse-dependencies are never installed together, it is necessary to
    have a library transition, which is most easily done by renaming the
    runtime library package.

    Since turning on 64-bit time_t is being handled centrally through a change
    to the default dpkg-buildflags (https://bugs.debian.org/1037136), it is important that libraries affected by this ABI change all be uploaded close together in time. Therefore I have prepared a 0-day NMU for librsb
    which will initially be uploaded to experimental if possible, then to
    unstable after packages have cleared binary NEW.

    Please find the patch for this NMU attached.

    If you have any concerns about this patch, please reach out ASAP. Although this package will be uploaded to experimental immediately, there will be a period of several days before we begin uploads to unstable; so if information becomes available that your package should not be included in the transition, there is time for us to amend the planned uploads.

    Thanks for this bug report and for the upload to experimental,
    Steve. I am hereby forwarding your message to the upstream
    author.

    Note that this is an ABI change introduced by a distro-wide change
    in default build flags; there is no action for upstream to take in
    this regards.

    Oops, it is true, thanks for this correction.

    I have added your changes to Git.[*]

    Thanks,

    Rafael Laboissière
