Backport button element support to Lucid

[Gary Poster]

Binary package hint: w3m

Per bug 523229, we would like the button element support (<debian/patches/020_button.patch> in w3m 0.5.2-10) to be ported back to Lucid and Maverick. This will mean that Ubuntu's SSO can be used in the default text-based browser that Ubuntu ships.

Thank you

lp:~iheino+ub/ubuntu/lucid/w3m/bug683337 fixes logging into launchpad for me on Lucid.
Still need to write a changelog entry at least, as well as port to Maverick too.

Fixed in Natty:

w3m (0.5.2-10) unstable; urgency=low

Lucid and Maverick versions are in the queue awaiting approval.

Accepted w3m into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Tuomas Heino (iheino+ub)]

w3m from lucid-proposed works properly for me.

This comment added using 0.5.2-2.1ubuntu1.2 right after trying to login to launchpad with previous version, which obviously didn't work as that one does not have the button-element support. Logging in & other launchpad functionality works fine now.

Accepted w3m into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Or in other words followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification#How%20to%20perform%20the%20test although skipped step 8 and adjusted step 6 to 'sudo aptitude install w3m/lucid-proposed'.

[Tuomas Heino (iheino+ub)]

Likewise 0.5.2-6ubuntu1 from maverick-proposed works for me, comment sent using it.

Differences listed in code.launchpad.net for maverick version differ from merge-proposal unlike for lucid. Maybe because of different patch management for lucid/maverick versions?

I've verified the proposed package and can confirm that i'm now able to login to launchpad using the proposed version of w3m in both Lucid and Maverick, i'm thus marking this as verification-done, thanks all!.
