Package: ninja-build
Version: 1.10.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
`ninja -t browse` fails with a python backtrace due to a python2/3 bug
upstream whereby `cgi.quote` was removed from python3.8 and causes
downstreams using 3.8 to crash.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I rebuilt ninja from source after applying the recent upstream fix, and
ninja now appears to work correctly.
I suspect that backporting the upstream patch in 4d744de should be sufficient
without needing to wait for the upstream stable release which includes it.
All the Best
Luke
