Bug#1105201: unblock: pympress/1.8.5-4
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: pympress@packages.debian.org, stuart@debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:pympress
Please unblock package pympress
[ Reason ]
pympress currently does not even start in trixie, with changes to
dependencies, as discussed in #1096318. The long-term fix is a change in
the pygobject package - that change in experimental, but is not going to
make it to trixie. A simple workaround was provided by pympress upstream
and is included in this upload.
[ Impact ]
pympress in trixie is currently usable, crashing on startup
[ Tests ]
Installing the updated package and try running pympress - it doesn't
crash; I tested it in presentation mode with a couple of PDFs.
The package has only superficial tests.
[ Risks ]
The package can't be any more broken than it currently is.
[ 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 testing
[ Other info ]
The omission of debian/.gitignore from the updated source package is
something I missed in the original upload - sorry - it's obviously not
an important omission for the working of the source package. (I assume
this was automatically omitted by gbp - TIL). I can re-add the file in
an updated upload if that is preferred.

+Subject: Work around pygobject iterator
+
+Picked from https://github.com/Cimbali/pympress/issues/330
+Works around a missing __iter__ method in GPropsIter in pygobject; this is fixed
+by pygobject upstream 3.51 but that fix will not likely make it into trixie.
+This patch should be dropped during the forky development cycle.
+
+Closes: #1096318
