Dear Release Team,

I would like to request a transition slot for openslide 4.0.1,
which is available in experimental for a couple of months, but
has not raised any substancial issues so far.  Having the
transition started would move forward the resolution of the
security issue CVE-2026-54604, referenced in #1099727.

I have triggered rebuilds of reverse dependencies and noticed a
build failure affecting timg, which is reported as #1146800.
The two other reverse dependencies openslide-python and visp did
not show any problem.  Experimental pseudo excuses are looking
good [1].

Ben file:

title = "openslide";
is_affected = .depends ~ "libopenslide0" | .depends ~ "libopenslide1";
is_good = .depends ~ "libopenslide1";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libopenslide0";

Have a nice day,  :)

Hi again,

Étienne Mollier, on 2026-09-05:

After a remark from Tobias Frost, this is resolved in the recent
upload of openslide 4.0.1+dfsg-1~0exp3 to experimental.  There
is no blocker anymore.  Thanks Tobias!

Have a nice day,  :)
