Bug#676176: increasing severity

July 29th, 2012 - 01:50 pm ET by Erich Schubert | Report spam

severity 676176 important
tag 676176 +wheezy
clone 676176 -1
reassign -1 python-subversion
found -1 1.6.17dfsg-4
retitle -1 API change in python-subversion breaks trac
thanks

This breaks a core fuctionality of trac, the changeset viewer (and maybe more?)

Apparently the python subversion bindings have changed API from int to long.
I assume this will require investigation from the subversion
maintainers, so I'm cloning the bug to them.

One fix may be to adjust trac accordingly. Another may be to restore
the previous API for the python-subversion package. Upstream trac
blames Debian subversion...
Cloning the bug, so both maintainers (and the users) are aware of this issue.

This bug is relevant for wheezy and needs to be fixed for the release.

Thanks.

Hi,
A partial "bisection" of python-subversion via snapshot.debian.org
shows that the problem already existed in -3.1 but did not exist in
-1. I did not test -2 and -3 yet.

-2 has swig-related changes:

* patches/swig2-compat: New patch from upstream to build with swig 2.x.
(Closes: #634049)

However, it may well be that this change is actually caused by Debian
having migrated to Swig 2, too.

Regards,
Erich
