[FFe] Please sync xournal to 0.4.5 from debian

[Tom Jaeger]

Binary package hint: xournal

The recent release of xournal 0.4.5 contains some much-needed bug fixes along with some very worthwhile new features (in particular, much better PDF rendering). Let me know if I need to file a FFE.

xournal (0.4.5-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #441755)

Small correction needed to the dependencies: please remove
libgnomeprint2.2-dev, libgnomeprintui2.2-dev, and increase libgtk2.0-dev
to >= 2.10.

Thanks!
Denis

[Tom Jaeger (thjaeger)]

Thanks, fixed in the attachment.

Denis has convinced me that leaving the XInput workaround enabled is the
correct thing to do (main reasons: rotation and touchpad/mouse input),
so here's another update.

Hi,

As there is an upstream version change, can you provide at least the upstream changelog since 0.4.2.1?
If new features has been added. you will have to follow the FFe process (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess), as we are now past Feature Freeze.

Thanks,
Fabrice

[Tom Jaeger (thjaeger)]

Here's the relevant part of the upstream changelog:

Version 0.4.5 (Oct 2, 2009):
  - bugfixes for GTK+ 2.16/2.17 issues with xinput events
  - various minor UI bugfixes
  - gettext internationalization (contributed by David Planella)
  - Catalan translation (by David Planella), French translation
  - use poppler instead of pdftoppm to render PDF backgrounds
    (after patches by Mike Ter Louw and Bob McElrath)
  - various improvements to UI and to key bindings (including
    patches by Bob McElrath and Lu Zhihe)
  - use gtk-print instead of libgnomeprint for printing
  - custom color chooser (patch contributed by Alex Ray)
  - option to have tablet buttons toggle the mapping rather than draw
  - paper color chooser (after a patch by Ole Joergen Broenner)
  - remove binary installer (due to binary incompatibilities)
  - UPDATED DEPENDENCIES: need gtk+ 2.10, poppler-glib 0.5.4

I'm not sure about the level of detail I should provide for the Feature Freeze Exception. Given that it fixes several important bugs and the regression potential from the new features is low, I'd say this is a no-brainer.

I'm afraid this headed for another FFe then. It's partially Ubuntu's
fault though -- if you guys stabilized your version of GTK+ more than a
few days before the feature freeze, I wouldn't have spent the last week
working around the latest misbehaviors in GTK+ and I would have made the
deadline.

*Having feature freeze dates just days after major GTK+ releases is
plain dumb.*

Build log and install log attached.

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Hi,

According to the changelog, it seems like a FFe is required.
Setting back to new so that it fails into the TODO list of motu-release :-)

You can find the required information for the FFe at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess

Thanks,
Fabrice

[Iulian Udrea (iulian)]

Ack #1.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Ack #2, FFe granted, please go ahead.

(side note: maybe it makes sense to merge 0.4.5-1 from unstable instead of bringing in the new upstream version independently?)

I hadn't noticed that debian has the new version already, I guess we can
just sync, then.

Debian has xournal=0.4.5-1 in sid main.

Debian changelog:

 xournal (0.4.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release - fixes the following bugs:
     - Change to gtk+ (>= 2.10) eliminating dependencies on libgnomeprint
       and libgnomeprintui (Closes: #542571, #539128)
     - Remove dependency on poppler-utils and replace with poppler-glib
which
       eliminates the problem with xpdf-utils and poppler-utils
       (Closes: #499037)
     - New option available to autoload *.pdf.xoj files (Closes: #410911)
   * Upgrade to Standards-Version 3.8.3 (no changes)
   * Change to section "x11"

Hi,

The changes made in Ubuntu can be dropped, as thay has been integrated in Debian (sometimes, in another way). The resulting package contains the previously missing content, installs fine and work fine.

Sync request ack'd.

Thanks,
Fabrice
