Description Tupone Alfredo gentoo-dev 2007-09-04 21:32:51 UTC 
running wammu and trying to connect to the phone, it crashes. The problem is in this ebuild, that is overflowing a string.

Reproducible: Always




I'm providing a patch that enlarge the buffer, so it is no more crashing for this with my phone

The fix done here is the same as one of the fix done on bug #191191 that affect only the gammu command line executable. But the other  fix on the bug #191191 need to be done as the gammu library is used by this ebuild

Better patch for this issue is now in upstream svn:

Fixed in python-gammu-0.22.ebuild by using the upstream patch. Thanks!
