Eterm built against libast on amd64 has its buffer filled with garbage

[Rocco Stanzione]

Easily reproducible on amd64 by opening Eterm. Found a patch that fixes it. Debdiff on the way after I test it.

This fixes the bug described here.

Oh, I should probably give credit where it's due - to Michael Jennings, found here:

Uploaded the fix, thanks for the patch

[Rocco Stanzione (trappist)]

Reopening. New packages were uploaded, and the changelog entries are there, but the bug still exists and if I peek at the source, it seems the patch has not been applied.

[Chuck Short (zulcss)]

Doh, fixed.

[Rocco Stanzione (trappist)]

Uploaded? I haven't seen a new package. Bug still exists.

This bug is cursed! The new package has an updated changelog, but the source has not been altered and the original bug still exists.

[Chuck Short (zulcss)]

Patch has been applied to the build, ( I just did the build myself), so the patch does not fix the issue.

[Rocco Stanzione (trappist)]

Dang, you're right. I hope the first time around wasn't my mistake as well, but it probably was. I had tested this, but now I realize I had tested it with a second patch also applied. Found this at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=34976&action=view
from
http://www.mail-archive.com/enlightenment-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg02320.html
Can we try with this one? (I really tested it this time.)

[Barry deFreese (bddebian)]

Uploaded with above fix. Please close this as fix released if the problem with truly solved with above patch as I don't have an amd64. Thank you.

[Rocco Stanzione (trappist)]

The libast upload didn't trigger an eterm upload - we need an eterm built against the patched libast to fix the actual bug. Thanks!
