[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Current GNUstep transition almost finished

[ CCing the maintainers or oolite and paje.app ]

Now that the gnustep-base build troubles on arm have been resolved
(thanks Hubert), here is a quick view to the remaining problems (I
might be wrong on some points, so don't take it for granted):

The following packages need source changes as per Hubert's initial
announcement and need to be uploaded:

adun.app
agenda.app	# New version depends on libical, now in Debian
cenon.app
paje.app
projectcenter.app

I'll work on these (except Paje) if no one else intends to.

The following package was actually uploaded, but it was during the
ries downtime so it has to be uploaded again:

batmon.app (I believe the .dsc can be fetched from gnu.etcz.ch)

The following packages are ready and will be uploaded soon (by the
usual suspect Hubert Chathi):

etoile
gtamsanalyzer.app
mpdcon.app
plopfolio.app
wrapperfactory.app

These packages have either missing binaries on some architectures
(i.e. built but not uploaded) or bogus Dep-Wait (like
libgnustep-base1.13), I'll write to the respective buildd admins if
they're not cleared up when the stack is almost ready to migrate:

alpha:	 gnustep-dl2
arm:	 gnustep-dl2, gorm.app, helpviewer.app

Waiting to be retried:
hppa:	 oolite (actual failure due to missing build-dep)
sparc:	 talksoup.app (likewise)

These packages failed to build on arm due to (hopefully) transient
buildd problems -- all on netwinder, hence the guess and "hope":

poe.app, rssreader.app, textedit.app

glibc migrated to testing, so the only major related transition is
poppler, AFAICS.  As I see it, the GNUstep stack and poppler have to
migrate to testing together.


P.S. Lots of packages were orphaned, but I suggest to discuss their
future in a different thread.
