-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [I'm a new maintainer doing RC bug fixing as part of T&S; Michael is my AM.]
This bug is because Eunuchs is being built for Python 2.5, but hasn't been ported according to PEP 353 "Using ssize_t as the index type" <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0353/>. A patch is attached. It makes the following changes to fix the FTBFS: * typedef int Py_ssize_t if Python is a version that lacks Py_ssize_t (this has the correct semantics on <= 2.4, because in those versions, all objects that are now Py_ssize_t were int) * In sendmsg.c use Py_ssize_t to receive the third argument of PyString_AsStringAndSize and the following changes to improve 64-bit cleanness: * #define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN so we get versions of PyArg_Parse, etc., that use a Py_ssize_t for the length part of the 's#' format * Use Py_ssize_t in a couple of places where it's more correct than int * Fix a related 64-bit-cleanness bug: in my_recvmsg() a pointer to size_t was used as if it was a pointer to int, which won't do the right thing on 64-bit platforms with 32-bit int Michael: would you be willing to sponsor an NMU using this patch? Should I be addressing the Normal severity bugs (which have patches) in the same NMU?
