Adapting FancyLibs & MinGW-Pkg from Debian 10 Buster to 11 Bullseye, MinGW-8 to MinGW-9
- Christoph Lechleitner
Introduction
About every 2 years Debian introduces a new release.
At the time I'm writing this Debian Bullseye has been out as stable for over a month.
The following notes shall provide the order in which FancyLibs shall be adapted and released for a new Debian release and are based on Adapting FancyLibs & MinGW-Pkg from Debian 9 Stretch to 10 Buster, Mingw-7 to Mingw-8.
Adapting FancyLibs to new Debian Release
The steps per sub project are the same as described for "HelloWorld projects* in Adapting PBA to new Debian Release, with -o unix (before MinGW adaption) or -o "arch|unix|9" after MinGW adaption.
FancyLibs subproject rebuild order phase 1
We have dropped armhf support for now.
The recommended order for phase 1 (before MinGW adaptions) is:
| Project (subdir) | Archs (-o parameter) | Remarks general | Status & Remarks buster/bullseye | Release with Bullseye |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| fancylog | arch | 1.0.3-9 | ||

MinGW-Pkg rebuilds
Disclaimer: The MinGW-Pkg generation does NOT refer to the version of the Mingw-W64 upstream project, but is raised with every Debian generation and includes newer version of the cross-built 3rd-party libraries.
