Debian 8 Jessie support, please. The existing packages for Debian 6 Squeeze (oldoldstable) conflict with official Debian 8 Jessie (stable).
While uprgading to Debian 8 Jessie (current stable, released in May 2015), I had to uninstall semanticmerge due to conflicts. I can't reinstall semanticmerge again due to missing dependencies.
All packages listed with 'INDISPONIBIL' are unavailable, although the semanticmerge repo is available:
--\ Depinde (10)
    --- default-jre
    --\ plasticscm-gnome-sharp (= 2.24.0) (INDISPONIBIL)
    --\ plasticscm-gtk-sharp (= 2.12.21) (INDISPONIBIL)
    --\ plasticscm-libmono3-corlib2.0-cil (= 3.0.3.1-1.1) (INDISPONIBIL)
    --\ plasticscm-libmono3-system-data2.0-cil (= 3.0.3.1-1.1) (INDISPONIBIL)
    --\ plasticscm-libmono3-system-runtime2.0-cil (= 3.0.3.1-1.1) (INDISPONIBIL)
    --\ plasticscm-libmono3-system-web2.0-cil (= 3.0.3.1-1.1) (INDISPONIBIL)
    --\ plasticscm-libmono3-system2.0-cil (= 3.0.3.1-1.1) (INDISPONIBIL)
    --\ plasticscm-mono3-runtime (= 3.0.3.1-1.1) (INDISPONIBIL)
    --\ plasticscm-mono3-runtime-sgen (= 3.0.3.1-1.1) (INDISPONIBIL)
  --\ Sugerează (1)
    --\ libclang1 (= 3.2) | libclang1 (= 3.2-1) (INDISPONIBIL)

    Hi Eddy!
Thanks for your outstanding interest in semanticmerge! We’re sorry to see that you experienced this issues under Debian 8. As you discovered, this new version caused a dependencies issue which prevented semanticmerge to be installed using the older Debian 6 repository.
However, we’re very happy to tell you that we’ve set up a brand new Debian 8 repository to solve this problem! To successfully install semanticmerge under Debian 8 please update your sources.list file using this lines:
deb https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/plasticscm-common/Debian_8.1/ ./
deb https://www.semanticmerge.com/semanticrepo/Debian_8.1/ ./
Once you’ve done this please update your repository cache:
apt-get update
Now you can upgrade your semanticmerge version:
apt-get install semanticmerge
We’ll update the package installation page as soon as possible.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you find any additional issue, and thank you very much for your feedback!
Regards,
Miguel
