Bug#1107611: unblock: pdfarranger/1.11.1-3
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: pdfarranger@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:pdfarranger
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
[ Reason ]
pdfarranger was rendered completely non-functional by python3.13
3.13.4-1 in unstable, as described in https://bugs.debian.org/1107304.
[ Impact ]
If python3.13 3.13.4-1 doesn't migrate to testing, then it should be
fine; but otherwise pdfarranger will fail to start. I don't really want
to bank on the former not happening.
[ Tests ]
https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger/issues/1238 has a couple of
reports from people on various distributions that this patch fixes
things with Python 3.13.4. I tested it manually against the python3.13
version in testing as well.
pdfarranger doesn't have autopkgtests, so this won't migrate on its own.
[ Risks ]
This is a leaf package.
The patch just moves a multiprocessing.freeze_support
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.freeze_support)
call to a place where it won't be used unless you're using a frozen
executable. The Debian package isn't a frozen executable, and
multiprocessing.freeze_support is irrelevant if you aren't using a
frozen executable, so that should be exactly what we want.
[ 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
unblock pdfarranger/1.11.1-3
