[Bug 2121452] Re: Remove packages to allow completion of rust-glib 0.21 transition

[Jeremy Bícha]

** Description changed:

  There is a big transition for Rust packages for GNOME 49 (updating rust-
  glib to 0.21, rust-gtk4 to 0.10, etc.).
  
  Removing these packages would allow completion of the transition sooner:
  - rust-swtchr
- - rust-glycin
- - rust-glycin-utils
  
  rust-swtchr has no reverse dependencies
  
- rust-glycin* has no reverse dependencies since we previously removed shortwave.
- Note this is different than the 'glycin' source package which is vendored in Ubuntu and included in the default Ubuntu install.
- 
- All these removed packages will need source changes in Debian and can be
- synced from Debian once they are fixed.
- 
- More Info
- =========
- rust-glycin has 2 issues:
- - The Debian Rust automated packaging doesn't handle beta releases well, but the version compatible with the new Rust GNOME packages is only a beta
- - rust-glycin entangles the large Rust GNOME transition with the large Rust pyo3 transition. The pyo3 transition is complicated because the new version of rust-breezyshim requires rustc 1.86 but Ubuntu 25.10 uses rustc 1.85 as default. Please see LP: #2121547
+ I'm working on updating rust-glycin now.

** Changed in: rust-glycin (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Changed in: rust-glycin-utils (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
