Dear fellow developers,
(Sorry for any duplicate. I've tried to send a first mail to
debian-devel, but it hadn't reached the list. So I am sending a more
compact version of my previous message.)
A little bit more of context can be found at:
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-javascript-devel/2024-October/081589.html
and:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1084059#5,
I would like to discuss a mass bug filling for packages {,build-}
depending on twitter-bootstrap3 or twitter-bootstrap4, that have been
EOL'ed by upstream. The security support for bootstrap 3 and 4 has some challenges, and it would be great if the packages depending on them
could migrate to bootstrap 5.
However, bootstrap 5 is not just a drop-in replacement, and some
patching at upstream level may be needed. It is probably too late for
trixie. A more realistic target would be trixie+1. In any case, from the security support PoV, the higher the number of packages have moved to bootstrap5 for trixie, the better.
The list of concerned reverse dependencies and their maintainers, for
the two different versions, can be found here attached. For simplicity,
this time I've included the first level of reverse dependencies only.
he bug report content proposal:
---
Package: #PACKAGE#
Version: #VERSION#
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Subject: Move from twitter-bootstrap{3,4} to bootstrap-html (v5)
Dear maintainer(s),
Your package (build-)depends on one of the binary packages of src:twitter-bootstrap3 or src:twitter-bootstrap4. Unfortunately,
bootstrap 3 and 4 are EOL'ed by upstream and it is difficult to provide security support for them.
Depending projects are encouraged to migrate to bootstrap 5 (src:bootstrap-html). Please note that bootstrap 5 is not just a drop-in replacement, and some work on the upstream side may be needed.
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/migration/ https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.6/migration/
Please, consider migrating to bootstrap 5.

Cheers,
