Bug 203057 – media-video/dvdstyler-1.5.1_p2 patch release (fixing segfaults and other issues)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Michael 2007-12-22 19:18:26 UTC]

It seem that dvdstyler 1.5.1 has been patched twice by the author for a couple of bugs and the current stable version stands at 1.5.1_2. Unfortunately this is not reflected in the changelog, so it is a bit confusing.

What was fixed:

CRITICAL:

A particulary nasty bug where dvdstyler SEGFAULTED when a mouse was moved over the editing screen of dvdstyler after a previously saved file was opened (which was the problem I run into). This made the application virtually unusable.
And was reported by a few others as witnessed by: (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=c3c6e0850711301121h11fd0a9eqd37285a9f5f64b99%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=dvdstyler-users)

Also as witnessed by a diff between 1.5.1 and 1.5.1_2 several fixes/improvements were added:
* Updated dvdstyler.desktop to use UTF-8 and to fixed a typo which was preventing it being shown under AudioVideo category
* Updated Copyright year
* Added Portuguese translation
* Added fix for windows makefile
* Added CPPFLAGS to configure
* Authors and About dialogs modified

I am including a new ebuild with following changes from the 1.5.1 original

* Removed the make_desktop_entry fix
* Removed windows makefile fix
* Added debug flag

The ebuild matches the authors version 1.5.1_2 to gentoos' 1.5.1_p2
Maintainer please confirm if this is correct.

Because this version contains a fix for a critical segfault, I would like to kindly ask the maintainer to introduce this into portage.
