Bug#1028436: transition: re2

[Stefano Rivera <stefanor@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
X-Debbugs-Cc: re2@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:re2

Sorry for a last minute request. I was just looking through my packages
on the weekend and noticed that re2 had tagged a new release, but I
hadn't seen it due to the GitHub layout change last year.

This is a very minor ABI break in the C++ library, caused by changing
class layout.

The in the 6 months since the previous release, they've only made 22
commits. Which also means that if it misses the freeze, it's probably
not a big deal.

The new version is currently sitting in experimental bin-NEW.

I've test-built the reverse dependencies, they all build, except for
unrelated failures:

Ben file:

title = "re2";
is_affected = .depends ~ "libre2-9" | .depends ~ "libre2-10";
is_good = .depends ~ "libre2-10";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libre2-9";

Thanks for the consideration!
