Hi,

would it be possible to upload msgpack 6.1.0 to Debian unstable soon? It would
be nice to have the v6 API in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, for which the import freeze is
on the 29th February. I can also upload it as NMU if you want.

Cheers,
Stephan

Currently, this would break a number of packages.  The reverse
dependencies need to be updated to deal with both the msgpack-c /
msgpack-cxx split (which most have) and also to deal with the CMake
config renames that upstream did.

The former is tracked by
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1018679 and looks like
it's almost done.  I should raise the severity of the blocking issues
and double check others haven't crept in since I initially filed that.

Another round of checks is also needed to see what the impact is for the
CMake config rename.  I'll look into creating a tracking bug for that
and try to get some traction.

Please don't.

Cheers,

Hi James,

thanks for your swift replay and thanks for the bug report! I was not
aware of it.

Regarding the transition, the only missing package according to
#1018679 is autobahn-cpp (#1019114), which is orphaned.

However, there are indeed new packages that have appeared since then
that depend on libmsgpack-dev:
- neovim
- dials
- tmate-ssh-server
- libdata-messagepack-stream-perl
- tamte
- rocblas
- groonga
- webdis
- neovim-qt
- libdata-messagepack-perl

I did a quick codesearch via
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=msgpack.hpp to find out which
of those packages actually depend on msgpack-cxx:
- ring
- rocblas
- dials
- libdata-messagepack-stream-perl (unsure)

Is there anything I can do to help speed up this transition? Given
that number of affected packages is quite small, I don't think a
forceful transition for the C++ library would be a problem (that is,
removing libmsgpack-cxx-dev from libmsgpack-dev and updating
msgpack-cxx). I am willing to invest time in writing bug reports and
patches if you think this is doable before Feb 29th.

Cheers,
Stephan
