Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: tk...@packages.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:tk9.0 User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package tk9.0 [ Reason ] The package fixes annoying bug with the size of fonts in XFCE session on High DPI displays (see [1]). The displayed text is twice as large as required by default. [ Impact ] The tk9.0 is not the default Tk versio, so the impact of this bug will be fairly limited. But still it's nice to fix it. [ Tests ] There's no a special test for the difference, though they are pretty trivial and the result can be seen by running a script like the following: label .l -text "Test Label" pack .l which shows huge text in XFCE session on a displya with DPI higher than 160 (give or take). [ Risks ] The change is trivial, I dont expect any adverse effects for it. [ Checklist ] [+] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [+] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [+] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] (Anything else the release team should know.)
