Title:
Python bindings broken due to changes in GObject overrides API
Status in gexiv2:
Fix Released
Status in gexiv2 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gexiv2 source package in Trusty:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
* GExiv2 python bindings are not functional, this means that python
applications trying to use GExiv2 do not work.
* This worked in Saucy but regressed in Trusty.
* The upload fixes the bug by updating GExiv2.py to the new GObject
override API.
[Test Case]
1. Get an application that uses the python bindings to GExiv2, such as
GottenGeography
2. Try to open a photo.
Expected behavior: The photo opens.
Actual behavior: the program crashes.
[Regression Potential]
Very little, the changes are confined to GExiv2.py, which is already
completely broken. This change can't possibly break it any worse than
it already is.
[Other Info]
I've reported the bug upstream with patch here:
