Dear hackers and packagers,
My sincere apologies - once again we are struck by a delete request
having impacts way beyond what we expect to to touch.
As part of the cleanup activities, gcc5 has been removed from the
distro. This also impacts libffi4; The distro has gained a new libffi
implementation (libffi7, version 3.2.1) which has been around for a
while.
As we now deleted libffi4, though, it became apparent that not
everything is yet rebuilt against libffi7 (no real surprise there: we
have the rebuild strategy of least changes implemented)
So far nothing bad - except: as libffi4 has been removed from
openSUSE:Factory, this not only impacts /standard (which we would not
have a problem - ever), but also /snapshot. Which means all the builds
against openSUSE:Tumbleweed will be broken at least until the next
snapshot can be published (0313 that is).
I apologize for this issue caused and will be trying to find a
workaround for now to get you guys going again. Please stay tuned.
Cheers,
Dominique
