Subject: [RFC] gnupg-2 stable plans
Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2007 15:49:44 +0200
Hello,

I want to make gnupg-2 stable.

The problem is that gnupg-1.9 was slotted as slot "1.9" and made stable.

So now we have two slots, slot "0" and slot "1.9".

gnupg-2 is drop-in replacement of gnupg-1, so eventually no slotting
should be used.

As far as I see, there are two migration pathes I can use:

1. Mark gnupg-2 stable, as it blocks older versions, this results in
forcing users to manually unmerge the gnugp-1.9 series, this is the
quickest and simplest migration path.

2. Perform slot-move of slot "0" and slot "1.9" into slot "2", so
migration will be smooth. The problem is that I need all archs to work
with me in timely manner so that this will be possible. I have
bug#194113 waiting for arm, mips, s390, sh, and this only for the
dependencies.

Any thoughts?

Best Regards,
Alon Bar-Lev.
