All the above 3 patches were already included in 5.16, i.e. * xscreensaver-demo does truncate http:// into http:/ * xscreensaver-demo now uses memmove instead of strcpy when source and destination overlaps, which will _perhaps_ fix some strange about "degraeve" into "degraee" and so on.
For reference, the diff of demo-Gtk.c between 5.15 and 5.16 is attached. ** Patch added: "diff of demo-Gtk.c between 5.15 and 5.16" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/1116006/+attachment/3737098/+files/xscreensaver-5.15-5.16-demo-Gtk.c.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xscreensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1116006 Title: xscreensaver-settings breaks imageDirectory line if it is a URL Status in “xscreensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: xscreensaver 5.15 (5.15-2ubuntu1) in Ubuntu 12.10 The URL that can be set in the GUI (Advanced->"Choose Random Image" (or imageDirectory in .xscreensaver, it doesn't matter) is broken almost immediately after having used xscreensaver-settings For example, putting imageDirectory: http://www.degraeve.com/flickr- rss/rss.php?tags=heidelberg&num=20 into .xscreensaver and not running xscreensaver-settings works as expected and it does show images of the RSS feed. However, as soon as I click on the "Settings"-Button, and the "Advanced", I'm presented with an error message that the directory does not exist, and then - checking either the GUI or the .-file, the URL is broken like as follows: imageDirectory: http:/www.degraee.coom/flickr- rss/rss.php?tags=heidelberg&num=20 In this case: - http:// is missing the second slash - degraeve is changed to degraee - com becomes coom Expected behaviour: Write the entered URL into .xscreensaver and do not alter it Reproducible: always I already contacted the author of xscreensaver directly, but he refuses to even read bug reports for a two year old version (understandable...) Maybe it would suffice to just repackage the latest version?
