We have a rhythmbox plugin that requires these patches. We can confirm they work great on 12.04 & 12.10
i.e. patches for the following packages: python-cairo, python3-cairo, python-gi, python-gi-cairo The patches for both precise and github can be found on Github. https://github.com/andrenam/desktop-art/downloads Seems to me - these patches fix something that never worked - as such there should not be any regression potential here. Any chance including these patches in an official update or backport? thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pygobject in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1028115 Title: Gdk.cairo_region_create_from_surface() raises an error in GI Status in Python bindings for GObject: Confirmed Status in “py3cairo” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “pygobject” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “py3cairo” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: This happens on current 12.10 daily: >>> from gi.repository import Gdk >>> import cairo >>> surface = cairo.ImageSurface(0, 100, 100) >>> Gdk.cairo_region_create_from_surface(surface) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/types.py", line 47, in function return info.invoke(*args, **kwargs) TypeError: Couldn't find conversion for foreign struct 'cairo.Region' Upstream has some additional info and a couple of patches for this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667959 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44336 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pygobject/+bug/1028115/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
