[Pkg-vsquare-devel] Bug#658598: RM: libvdeplug2-dev -- NBS; Replaced by libvdeplug-dev which Provides it

[Ludovico Gardenghi]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'd like you to remove libvdeplug2-dev from unstable.

The libvdeplug2-dev package has recently been renamed to libvdeplug-dev
in order to simplify future Build-Depends if/when the SONAME will
change.

Since libvdeplug-dev Provides: libvdeplug2-dev, and since
libvdeplug2-dev can be safely replaced by libvdeplug-dev, there is no
need to keep the "2" version in the archive.

In addition, the presence of libvdeplug2-dev is preventing vde2 from
migrating to testing (it generates "out of date" excuses for all
architectures).

I'll take care of notifying the maintainers of the few packages which
still Build-Depend on libvdeplug2-dev instead of libvdeplug-dev for
updating them (actually I'm a comaintainer of umview, which is one of
them).

Thanks,

Ludovico
