Not yet, and I will also be away until end of next week :-(

I have reworked it, but I wanted to fix all open bugs at the same time. I could release
a version right now, but the SMF manifest is still missing.

> libneon26: Dago proposed to rebuild or drop as only gstplugins_bad depend of this package. Any objection to the removal of gstplugins_bad ?

The problem is that neon_stub (CSWneon) depends on libneon26 and lots of packages still depend on CSWneon, so this requires
a rebuild of neon dropping foreign dependency to libneon26. Catalog integrity as a whole should be taken a close look when
dropping packages. I think package chains like this are currently not looked by default.

IIRC Jürgen wanted to take a look at this.

> libpq: packages depending on libpq should be recompiled with libpq5. 
This affects the following packages:

aide	Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment
courier_auth	Generic authentication API for Courier mail services
dovecot	Secure IMAP server
php5_pdopgsql	The pdopgsql extention for PHP5
php5_pgsql	The pgsql extention for PHP5
pm_dbdpg

I think most of them are already rebuild.


Best regards
