[FFe] Sync openerp-server 5.0.3-0-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Alan Bell]

Binary package hint: openerp-server

OpenERP server in Karmic is not installable as it depends on python-xml which is dropped. (it was broken in Jaunty but is now totally gone) the ubuntu version is 5.0.1 and upstream is 5.0.3. The Debian package now depends on python-lxml rather than python-xml which is the correct way to provide xpath functionality now.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

The current version in Ubuntu is 5.0.0-3-1ubuntu2, indicating two changes that happened in Ubuntu - did you check that they can be safely dropped?

Please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Also you didn't have ubuntu-universe-sponsors subscribed that's why nobody paid attention to the bug yet.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

We're in FeatureFreeze now too, so you should check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess

[Alan Bell (alanbell)]

thanks for the links, I will try and follow the process, I am a bit of a novice at this.

[Alan Bell (alanbell)]

The Ubuntu changes are about fixing FTBFS, which google tells me is Fails To Build From Source. I guess if the new debian package does build from source then these fixes are not needed. I am not quite sure how to test this.

openerp-server (5.0.0-3-1ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Really fix FTBFS

oh heck, I should have mangled those email addresses, I thought Launchpad did that automatically. Can it be edited?

[Alan Bell (alanbell)]

actually, forget it for the moment. I have just seen http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543947 which indicates that whilst debian has dropped python-xml from the dependency list the code is still actually dependent upon it and thus the package is unusable at the moment.

[Michael Bienia (geser)]

The current source of openerp-server in karmic is 5.0.1-0-1 but it FTBFS (build-depends on python-xml) and as the old (and current) binaries also depend on python-xml the package is currently uninstallable.

  * Merging upstream version 5.0.3-0.

Upstream changelog

[Michael Bienia (geser)]

The debdiff is 21 MB big :( and the diffstat shows:
  3951 files changed, 291317 insertions(+), 137968 deletions(-)
but from those 3951 files 3543 files are translations.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

yes, +1 from me, given that Scott is happy with it.

[Alan Bell (alanbell)]

should probably sync openerp-client too, which should be straightforward (the current version works fine, but it is probably best that client and server are the same version) I will file a new bug for that.

[Alan Bell (alanbell)]

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openerp-client/+bug/425089 is the request to sync the client too.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Ack. Approved.
