Hi all,

This means that the packages that need to building libtool will need
to
have a
set to variant dependency: "libtool-bin | libtool". I suggest to wait
for
a
change in tde-packaging before we know what all packages will be
affected.
Now I ran into this problem with pytdeextensions and bibletime. We
will
see
what will follow. We'll see whether it will be appropriate to wait for
the
change after RC1.

Thanks for the heads up. RC1 will *not* support Debian Jessie due to
this
change, but we will try to make R14 support Debian Jessie as of its
release.
This is incidentally why I don't like tracking unstable distros. I
know
many users want to use Jessie (due to the age of the packages in
Wheezy)
but it's constantly being broken and we simply don't have the finances
to
rebuild the packages over and over and over again. :-(
As an aside, please refrain from uploading any new packages to
QuickBuild
at this time. After the RC1 builds are complete I will be taking it
offline for long-overdue scheduled maintenance lasting one or two days.

I ran in the exact same problem during last night partial rebuild
(everything without the "applications" part).
Most of packages build anyway, so we can say that even though RC1 does
not support Jessie 100%, we are probably not far
away from there. Today I will run the remaining part, so by tomorrow I
should be able to say exactly how many packages
FTBFS due to the missing libtool (at the moment I found pytdeextensions,
haven't rebuilt bibletime yet).
IMO, if we end up with only two packages being the problem, we could
also consider to fix them for RC1, provided that
this does not trigger a "cascade rebuild" of several other packages on
the build farm.

By the way, I forgot to say that Jessie will be frozen on Nov. 5, so after
that it should be much more stable.
