Bug#1035512: unblock: fvwm/1:2.7.0-2



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: fvwm@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:fvwm

Please unblock package fvwm 1:2.7.0-2

The newly uploaded package fixes bug #1034054 in which a change in
libX11 1.8.1 can cause fvwm to crash when handling expose events. The
patch is backported from fvwm3. Here is the commit (diff) between
1:2.7.0-1 and 1:2.7.0-2:

https://github.com/somiaj/fvwm2-debian/commit/d4d1a7d8f66eddb09080c5f6a5b15f21b343b92a

[ Reason ]
Fix a bug that causes fvwm to crash in some cases.

[ Impact ]
The current fvwm package may crash and could cause minor data loss
losing any unsaved data when fvwm and xorg crash.

[ Tests ]
The patch has been tested with fvwm3, confirmed to fix the issue,
and no additional issues have been reported. In addition the patch
has been tested by a user in bug #1034054, and they have not had any
crash since applying the patch.

[ Risks ]
Minor. Code is straight forward, and currently running just fine
in fvwm3. The new fvwm package runs just fine with all my tests.

[ Checklist ]
  [*] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [*] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing
      (I linked to the actual diff to the debian/ of the source package)
