Control: tags -1 + patch
Hello,
The attached patch cherry-picks upstream commit 1a532e3 ("chore(src):
Address xml deprecation warning", first released in v0.9) into
debian/patches, fixing the DeprecationWarning emitted at
/usr/bin/wsdd:649 during metadata exchange.
I have also opened a merge request on Salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/grantma/wsdd/-/merge_requests/8
The patch applies cleanly to 2:0.8-5 and the package builds
successfully with it, including the build-time regression tests.
Tested on 2:0.8-5 (sid source, bookworm + backports debhelper):
- patch applies cleanly with quilt (no fuzz/offset)
- dpkg-buildpackage succeeds incl. build-time regression tests
- python3 -m py_compile passes on the patched src/wsdd.py
- no new lintian findings attributable to the change
Regards,
Ramanuj

Subject: Fix deprecated Element truth value test
Testing an ElementTree Element for truth is deprecated in Python and
wsdd warns at runtime (/usr/bin/wsdd:649). Use "is not None" instead.
