[FFe][jaunty] Please sync zeroinstall-injector 0.39 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Thomas Leonard]

Binary package hint: zeroinstall-injector

Jaunty has dropped support for part of the freedesktop.org notification system, and can now only display simple messages (not messages with buttons, like "Updates available. [Download]"):

The latest upstream GIT version detects this and uses the system tray instead.

[Rocko (rockorequin)]

Is this a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333118?

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

Not quite. This bug is about moving from notifications to using the system tray. That bug is about another change: moving from using the system tray to using unfocussed windows. Probably best to see how people react to the new UI in Update Manager before doing the same thing to Zero Install.

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

A new version using the system tray is now available here:

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

Please take the fixed zeroinstall-injector_0.39-1_all.deb from Debian/unstable.

Thanks,

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

Fix is in Debian, so status should be "Fix Committed", I think. Please sync from there.

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

Note: the version currently in Jaunty also displays a lot of deprecation warnings due to the upgrade to Python 2.6. Using the Debian version would fix those too.

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

(changed status to Confirmed, as suggested on #ubuntu-motu)

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

Requesting a freeze exception, as described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess.

Proposed changes:

Update to 0.39, since the version currently in Jaunty doesn't work (throws an exception when checking for updates due to removal of the actions feature from the notification service).

The changes between 0.37 and 0.39 are mainly bug-fixes. The release notes can be found here:

http://gnomefiles.org/version.php?soft_id=921

Non-bug-fix changes affecting Ubuntu in 0.38 and 0.39 are:

- New Swedish translation.
- New --message option to display a message in the window.
- New "audit" command for verifying all packages at once.

There are no rdepends on this package.

The package has been tested using Jaunty by running the program's test-gui test suite. This fails with the current 0.37 version, and passes with Debian's 0.39.

https://zero-install.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zero-install/trunk/test-gui

If you need more information, please ask.

[Steve Kowalik (stevenk)]

Confirmed means the FFe is approved, so I've set the status back to New.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

I'm ok with it, ACK #1.

[Iulian Udrea (iulian)]

ACK #2

Exception granted.

[Iulian Udrea (iulian)]

I have just subscribed UUS for sponsorship.

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

Thanks, Iulian. Do I need to do anything else, or will the sync happen automatically now?

[Iulian Udrea (iulian)]

It FTBFS:

rm -r /tmp/buildd/zeroinstall-injector-0.39/debian/zeroinstall-injector/usr/man
rm: cannot remove `/tmp/buildd/zeroinstall-injector-0.39/debian/zeroinstall-injector/usr/man': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

Please don't hardcode. You can use something like:

find $(CURDIR)/debian/zeroinstall-injector -type d -empty -delete

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

Was a work-around for a problem with Python 2.5's distutils, I think. Looks like it's not needed with Python 2.6.

The attached patch should fix it (while still supporting 2.5 if necessary). The resulting binary package's contents are the same, according to debdiff.

Note that all previous versions have had this line, so presumably the version currently in Jaunty doesn't build either now.

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

Here's a better patch. The problem was that Python 2.6 installs to /usr/local by default:

[Thomas Leonard (talex5)]

Should I upload a new deb to REVU, or is the debdiff enough?

Thanks,

Tested again today after updating to latest Jaunty using these commands:

dget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/z/zeroinstall-injector/zeroinstall-injector_0.39-1.dsc
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24830029/python2.6.debdiff
cd zeroinstall-injector-0.39/
patch -p1 < ../python2.6.debdiff
dpkg-buildpackage

It still works, so please apply.

Thanks,
