Please sync urwid 0.9.8.4-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Ian Ward]

Binary package hint: python-urwid

Sending invalid data to a widget keypress method (not checking for mouse event for example) causes python-urwid to segfault. I expected a python error that can be handled gracefully.

python-urwid is version 0.9.8.3-1ubuntu1 in jaunty.
Fix is in upstream version 0.9.8.4-1 (debian unstable)
A number of other minor problems have been fixed in the same release.

This is the changelog for this micro-release:
    * Fixed incompatibilities with Python 2.6 (by Friedrich Weber)
    * Fixed a SimpleListWalker? with emptied list bug (found by Walter Mundt)
    * Fixed a curses_display stop()/start() bug (found by Christian Scharkus)
    * Fixed an is_wide_character() segfault on bad input data bug (by Andrew Psaltis)
    * Fixed a CanvasCache? with render() used in both a widget and its superclass bug (found by Andrew Psaltis)
    * Fixed a ListBox?.ends_visible() on empty list bug (found by Marc Hartstein)
    * Fixed a tutorial example bug (found by Kurtis D. Rader)
    * Fixed an Overlay.keypress() bug (found by Andreas Klöckner)
    * Fixed setuptools configuration (by Andreas Klöckner)

All changes are strictly bug fixes, there are no new features in this release. This package has been built and tested on Debian unstable and has been accepted into Debian.

I have tested this release against all the example programs included and the unit and doctests in the source.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

Nathan, so there's no need for merge? Cool! :)

[Nathan Handler (nhandler)]

Savvas, I did not look over the changes. It just looked like he was requesting a sync. He also built 0.9.8.4-1 in his PPA. If the Ubuntu changes are still needed, please attach the necessary debdiffs and update the title.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

No changes left, the patch for python 2.6 compatibility has been
applied upstream! (yay :) )

[Ian Ward (ian-excess)]

I've attached one patch you might want to include. It is from the latest stable branch:
https://excess.org/hg/urwid-0.9.8/rev/445847075567

Package builds fine, sync request ACK'd.

That patch only suppress a warning, it's not a sufficient reason to maintain a delta between Ubuntu and Debian.

However, please submit the patch to Debian BTS, we'll sync it later.

Debian won't be using python2.6 for some time(?), so the patch is only really useful for Ubuntu users. The patch will be included in the next Urwid release, so there is nothing to maintain.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

python2.6 is already present in experimental for Debian.

I disagree that getting rid of python warnings isn't a reason to maintain a Debian delta; a number of command-line python programs are still quite a mess in jaunty due to deprecation warnings. I'm going ahead for now since this is a proper sync request, but I would encourage you to fix this warning for jaunty anyway.

Hello, I'll try and look at it again, perhaps there's a possible
backwards/future compatible way to fix it. :-)
