As doko changed all python packages this is now no sync request
anymore... just an UVF exception request.
** Summary changed:
- UVF exception/sync request: dbus-python 0.80.2 from debian/experimental (main)
+ UVF exception: dbus-python 0.80.2
** Description changed:
Hi,
please consider the following UVF exception...
The recently released dbus-python 0.80.2 is a plain bugfix release. It
fixes some HUGE memory leaks, the copyright informations and a bit more.
Below are the upstream release notes and attached a diff of our and the
- new version. If the UVF exception is granted the package can simply be
- synced from debian/experimental. The Ubuntu changes are all upstream and
- can as such be dropped...
+ new version.
Changes between 0.80.1 and 0.80.2
=================================
- Fixed: a memory leak in which Struct, String, and long- and str-derived
data types leaked the __dict__ used to hold variant levels;
a couple of reference leaks in String; a memory leak in Struct.__repr__
and in the __repr__ of long- and str-derived data types; a memory leak
in which int-derived data types were wrongly placed on the int free list;
a memory leak of one Message per method call; a couple of other memory
leaks (stringified D-Bus signatures, and decoded Unicode objects); and
some more reference leaks (of Py_None references, but it's good to be
pedantic)
- In configure.ac, only use -Werror if the user specifically asks for
it, for the benefit of people doing bleeding-edge builds from git with
older compilers
- tp_dealloc callbacks have been audited to make sure they correctly preserve
the exception state
- Files currently solely owned by Collabora Ltd., notably the tutorial and
all the C code, are licensed more permissively (LGPL/AFL instead of GPL/AFL)
to facilitate re-use in LGPLed projects. Since the AFL is non-copyleft,
there seems little point in using a copyleft as strong as that of the GPL.
Other copyright holders (particularly Red Hat Inc.), please let me know if
you'd be willing to relicense the rest of dbus-python the same way
