Bug#402009: libcommoncpp2-dev library transition proposal (Fwd: Bug#402009: Multiple API-incompatible changes in Common C++ 1.5.3)

[Mark Purcell]

debian-release,

I'm proposing a library transition for libcommoncpp2, the last upload 
contained a hidden backward-incompatible ABI change which has only come to 
light.

I have patched upstream to bump the soname to 1.5.3 and this will generate a 
debian package of libcommoncpp2-1.5.3-0, which should then be able to go 
through a normal library transition.

As for rdepends, the only package outside pkg-voip-maintainers control is 
glcpu who have been CC:ed on this package.

If the transition goes ahead would the release team like us to manually upload 
the rdepends packages, or would binNMU's be more suitable/ quicker?

Mark

As described in the Common C++ changelog, the new version contains
multiple API changes, resulting in backward-incompatible ABI changes in
the shared library.

   From Common C++ 1.5.2 to 1.5.3
   - some code cleanup of operators and const members

I'm including a diff which contains all changes of header files from
1.5.1 to 1.5.3.
