Freeze exception request. Was: TransGUI opens to a white box

[actionparsnip]

I request the attatched package to be uploaded to Precise. The application
is currently useless in precise and needs a rebuild with the newer lazarus
available in Precise. The attached package contains a tiny patch to fix
a FTBFS in the package currently available in Debian unstable.

I am the maintainer of the debian package, and the exact same changes have
been included in my currently unreleased package. A new major release will
soon be available upstream, and this will probably be the next package to be uploaded to Debian.

For buildlog and test results, see comments #10 through #12.

The only difference in the attached package from the one in the PPA
is the versioning.

----------Original bug report--------------------------------------------
No thing but window decorator and a white app window. Even after deleting the settings the app stays white.

I can confirm this one. Also on Precise, but AMD64.

Same here

This is an upstream bug. Please see below link. There is no workaround as of now apart from downgrading libglib.

[Dmitry Vukolov (ekid)]

According to the author the problem is fixed by recompiling with new Lazarus 0.9.30.4. Hopefully, Ubuntu will also have this issue closed soon.

[Andreas Noteng (andreas-noteng)]

Uploading new revision to Debian unstable, will request sync once it is accepted in Debian.

[Vitali Kulikou (sabotatore)]

Could you load new revision to your ppa?

[Andreas Noteng (andreas-noteng)]

Uploading now, but I'm starting to think it won't help. Upstream claims that the issue is fixed in lazarus 0.9.30.4, but the newest version available in debian and ubuntu is 0.9.30.2..

We'll see when it compiles

[Andreas Noteng (andreas-noteng)]

The build is ready. Can someone please test?

[Vitali Kulikou (sabotatore)]

Works fine! Thank You!

[Marcin Dylewski (marcin-dylewski-m)]

Works fine here as well.

[Andreas Noteng (andreas-noteng)]

Nice! I'll try and request a freeze exception to get this package into ubuntu ASAP.

[Andreas Noteng (andreas-noteng)]

Attatched is the debdiff for the updated package.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

FFe is not needed for this. Passing to the sponsors list for their review/upload.

[Eugene Crosser (crosser)]

The fix works for me too. Thanks!

[Andreas Noteng (andreas-noteng)]

Upgrading importance to high with the following justification:
Prevents the application or any dependencies from functioning correctly at all

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Uploaded: thank you for your work!
I just dropped the Standards-version change as it does not bring anything, and added some more comments to the changelog.

I also ran update-maintainer, to update the maintainer field to put Ubuntu devel.

Thanks!

Works perfect. Awesome work dude!
Why was it white before?

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Hi,

The bug has been fixed in lazarus mid february, and transgui needed to be rebuilt against it. This is the fix in lazarus extracted from changelog:
  * Fix hang on IDE and LCL applications on startup when using glib >= 2.31.
