Bug#1050546: bookworm-pu: package vorta/0.8.10-1+deb12u1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: vorta@packages.debian.org, sten@debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:vorta
[ Reason ]
The upload of borgbackup/1.2.4-1 broke vorta/0.8.10-1, because that
release of borg breaking changes (during the soft freeze), and no one
noticed until bookworm was released as stable.
[ Impact ]
Some core functionality in Vorta is broken in bookworm; specifically,
the ability to diff between backups. This issue was discovered and
reported by a user at Bug #1042671. Additionally, I think this issue
must be fixed because we are proud of how well our stable release
process works; Our freeze, and stable updates, exist to prevent
this sort of bug from impacting users in stable releases.
[ Tests ]
This packages has build-time tests as well as both types of
autopkgtests for Python packages. Autopkgtests run with xvfb-run to
be as close to real-world usage as possible. Finally, Lutz Lübbert
confirms that the targeted fix proposed in this upload works
correctly:

[ Risks ]
Insignificant. The changes introduced in the fix this upload cherry
picked from upstream have already been tested in vorta/0.8.12-1 for
over two months, as well by users of upstream's 0.8.11 release in
April. The changes are found in
0006-Handle-ctime-and-mtime-diff-changes-1675.patch, they look like to
obvious and correct solution to me. It would be possible to fix this
from the borgbackup side, but I think we will agree that fixing this
in a vorta p-u is the correct approach.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
This upload adds 0006-Handle-ctime-and-mtime-diff-changes-1675.patch,
which adapts vorta to the ctime and mtime tracking introduced in
borgbackup/1.2.4-1. It also adds test coverage for this change.
