Hi Release Team,
I noticed yesterday that ppl has two RC bugs and was removed from
testing. I would like to take over the package and fix it, but one of
the RC bugs (#811825) is best fixed by updating to the new upstream
version, which requires a small library transition. Since the
debian-devel-announce@l.d.o mail from November 5 said the transition
freeze is only for "transitions that involve a large number of packages",
I'd thought I'd ask if we can still do this transition.
I already created a package of ppl 1.2 that fixes both RC bugs. ppl has
two reverse dependencies, which were of course both removed from testing
because of ppl:
apron
cloog-ppl
I checked that they both build without changes against the updated ppl
package.
If it's too late for the transition, we'll have to see if we can fix
#811825 by applying a patch that does not require a transition.
Thanks,
Tobias

This is done.
