[Mikel Ward]

Happening now on wily.

It looks like the "fix" was just to pull a more recent version of
XScreenSaver, but that doesn't really address the root cause.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1406825] Re: xscreensaver complains This version of xscreensaver is VERY OLD!

[Charlie Whitman Jr.]

Firas, you seem to be under the misimpression that you need the latest
version to avoid this warning message. That is not true at all. You only
need a version that is not quite old. The version that you get in 14.10
was not the current version of Xscreensaver (or even close to it) when
14.10 was frozen. Of course, the real problem here is that whoever
volunteers to package this for universe did not update it any time
recently. It's hard to complain about volunteer work, but the fact
remains that the age of the package unnecessarily created a problem even
for non-LTS users (for LTS users, the age of the package would be
understandable).

This is not how Ubuntu works. If you want the latest version of

Your statement is simply false. This _is_ how Ubuntu works for some
packages, e.g., PostgreSQL. Why should it not work with xscreensaver?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1406825] Re: xscreensaver complains This version of xscreensaver is VERY OLD!

[Daniel Richard G.]

I will point out that the postgresql package is part of Ubuntu main,
whereas xscreensaver is in Ubuntu universe. The distinctions between
these components of the repository are described at

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu

Universe is Community maintained software, i.e. not officially
supported software.  In practice, what this usually means is that
Ubuntu doesn't touch the software; they just pull whatever Debian has
from time to time. (Firas, this is why an Ubuntu patch to remove the
warning is not likely.)

As it happens, Debian testing/jessie does have a newer version of
xscreensaver (5.30-1+b1 versus Ubuntu's 5.26-1ubuntu3). So that could be
brought in, and would squelch the warning for a time longer.

I'm afraid I don't actually know who has to be nudged to make this
happen, however. The package does list Ubuntu Developers ubuntu-devel-
disc...@lists.ubuntu.com as the maintainer, so if any of you are
regulars on that list, bringing it up there may lead to some action. But
that's just my best guess.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1406825] Re: xscreensaver complains This version of xscreensaver is VERY OLD!

[Herwin Weststrate]

This feature appears to be added because the author was getting tired of
bug reports for already fixes bugs, the following is on top of the
function that checks if it is too old:

 Getting very tired of bug reports of already-fixed bugs due to
 Linux distros shipping multi-year-old versions.

So basically the problems have shifted from the author to the
packagers/maintainers of distros. To me, that sounds like a pretty
terrible idea.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1406825] Re: xscreensaver complains This version of xscreensaver is VERY OLD!

[Jamin W. Collins]

Downloading the latest Debian build will only push this issue out.  The
problem is that upstream (Jamie Zawinski) has added code that checks to
see if the current time is more than 12 months from when xscreensaver
was compiled.  I can't seem to find the current revision control
repository for the Ubuntu package of xscreensaver or I'd provide links
to the code in question within the repository, but here are links to the
code on a github repository:

https://github.com/danfuzz/xscreensaver/blob/f9983b7c0795eacde86415ca6362af0873b1cf07/driver/prefs.c#L1654
https://github.com/danfuzz/xscreensaver/blob/f9983b7c0795eacde86415ca6362af0873b1cf07/driver/splash.c#L170
https://github.com/danfuzz/xscreensaver/blob/f9983b7c0795eacde86415ca6362af0873b1cf07/driver/splash.c#L223

Seems the current 14.10 package was compiled back on December 9th, 2013.
That's what's showing up in the about dialog anyway.

Found a workaround:  downloading the latest version from upstream Debian
solves the trick.
