Hi, we have found a critial issue in Qt (data loss during upload in certain situations) that affects the ownCloud client. See below post to the Qt mailing list for details.
Debian has already responded, we have contacted Fedora and OpenSUSE. We were unsure about how to approach other distributions (mostly due to lack of experience). Please ensure that your distribution includes those fixes, also for already released versions. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Cheers, Daniel -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Packaging] Backport fixes for QNAM corruption Date: Mon, 04 May 2015 12:01:41 +0200 From: Daniel Molkentin <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Hi, We have identified a data corruption in QNetworkAccessManager affecting all currently supported versions of Qt. Fixes have been provided for Qt 5.4 [1] and Qt 4.8 [2], and will be part of Qt 5.4.2 and Qt 4.8.7 respectively. The commit message also details on the nature of the upload corruption. They should apply to older versions of Qt 4 and 5 as well. As there is no sensible workaround for this problem, I would like to urge packagers to consider adding this patch to Qt for their existing distributions. Since the fixes are accompanied by auto tests that validate their correctness, the risk of this patch is very low, with the advantages outweighing them by far.
