Source: cwidget Version: 0.5.17-7 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch Hi,
This is a follow-up of https://bugs.debian.org/891161 , I submit this new one rather than cloning to not have to go through many messages before learning about the current status. Sven, I decided to not enable this functionality just yet, because I thought that it would be nice to understand it before and be able to reply myself to questions such as: "does it scroll up or down when moving the wheel up? how many lines scrolls, etc?" The missing functionality has been there for more than a decade, so waiting a bit more shoudln't hurt much. Unfortunately, in the last few weeks I was busy with the riscv64 port, it was more quick and intense than what I expected. The removal of Alioth didn't help at all, I had to migrate many projects, repos, ask mailing lists to be kept (including cwidget-{devel,users}@ and aptitude-devel@), then tend in an emergency to moderation of the >1k pending messages before they get lost by an imminent change that the new admins will impose on mailing lists only announced a few days ago, etc. So in the end, I couldn't really investigate the problem deepeer, as well as other pending bugs that might benefit from a soname bump. (This includes changes and bugs that were reported in the mailing lists of cwidget* years ago, that I now noticed due to the removal of alioth and reviewing the archive from a very long time ago). Now with the bulk of the administrative diversion stuff done and the riscv64 port progressing at good pace, I will be able to pay more attention to these projects. Anyway, so I just uploaded a version of cwidget to experimental, disabling the code and depending on a new version of cwidget. When uploaded to unstable, I will move cwidget there and will upload aptitude depending on the new version. I think that this should be enough to deal with the immediate problem of the transition. I could have avoided that by changing the type of mmask_t to a type compatible witht the old version long ago, but aptitude needs then binNMUs anyway, so there's not much difference in the outcome -- althought perhaps this could have saved you some time and trouble if done earlier, sorry for that. Lastly, these are the changes that Sven created that will allow to enable the change: https://salsa.debian.org/joachim-guest/cwidget/commits/ncurses6 https://salsa.debian.org/joachim-guest/aptitude/commits/ncurses6 Cheers. -- Manuel A.
