Followup-For: Bug #1094737
X-Debbugs-Cc: noisycoil@tutanota.com, jonas@jones.dk

Please in future introduce breaking changes only to experimental, and notify reverse dependencies _before_ introducing to unstable.

Sorry. bindgen was in experimental for a few days, the (trivial) patch for oxigraph (in attachment) was ready, but I wasn't able to test it because of the
FTBFS so I postponed its submission until the last minute hoping the FTBFS would be resolved in time for me to send you a tested patch.

I trusted you knew about the update because of bugs #1094202, #1094203 and the
mention in #1094737, but you are of course right that submitting a targeted bug beforehand is what I should have done.

I'll be more careful next time.

P.S.: The patch is sufficient to pick up the correct dependency. In fact, it gets through the build step, but fails at install due to bug #1094737. And of course, FTBFS means I could not *actually* test the package with the new bindgen.

Thanks. I don't expect you to provide patch or even test - but that's certainly nice if you do, and may obviously help speed up the process.
But filing a bugreport against each reverse dependency is quite helpful, telling me as a person via another bugreport is inadequate - I am unable
to remember all activities across all the packages I am involved in, and eventually, ideally, I am not maintaining them alone.

My main concern here is the upcoming freeze, where mistakes hare harder
to correct, and response time is gradually tightened - and although I
have been relatively quick to respond in the past, you cannot rely on
that in the future: I am studying, which steals my attention in waves at
a time.

Thanks for all the great work on Rust packaging,

- Jonas
