Bug 658470 – www-apps/webdavcgi-1.1.2: version bump (and Homepage change)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alexander Weber 2018-06-19 08:59:46 UTC]

The current package homepage http://webdavcgi.sourceforge.net/ does forward to https://danrohde.github.io/webdavcgi/
On the github page there is a 1.1.2 release
Please bump and update the www-apps/webdavcgi ebuild

[Comment 1 Christian Affolter 2018-06-26 16:46:27 UTC]

I'm sorry, but I'm currently too busy to bump and test a new WebDAV CGI release. You're more than welcome to step in if you like.

According to the upgrade notes [1] a new IO::Compress::Brotli [2] ebuild would be required as well.

Current stable does not work with stable perl 5.26 because of unescaped left brace

Issue seems to be fixed in upstream in https://github.com/DanRohde/webdavcgi/commit/04e79b7ecbaf3aae5ab813cd4fc0a009c72b1580

Dear Alexander,

thanks a lot for the report and the proposed regex patch. I've finally found some time to rework on the ebuild and update it to the latest upstream version.

The PR is available on GitHub:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/10826

Any chance to get the PR in portage? I use the www-apps/webdavcgi-1.1.2 compiled using this ebuild since ~1 year without issues

    dev-perl/IO-Compress-Brotli: Add w/ version 0.4.1
    
    Required as a dependency for bumping www-apps/webdavcgi to 1.1.2
    
    Change suggested by Christian Affolter, but reworked from scratch
    to incorporate unbundling of brotli, and to employ proper versions,
      and EAPI7.

Is there anything missing to get this merged? It would be great if some proxy maintainer could have a look at the mentioned PR (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/10826)

Thanks!

    www-apps/webdavcgi: Version bump to 1.1.2
    
    Add fix unescaped braces patch.
    This patch fixes the unescaped brace regex warnings, which break the
    usage of WebDAV CGI with Perl >= 5.26 as reported by Alexander Weber
    within #674772 and #658470.
    
    It is based on:
    https://github.com/DanRohde/webdavcgi/commit/04e79b7ecbaf3aae5ab813cd4fc0a009c72b1580
    
    Apart from the version bump, the following enhancements were made:
    * Use EAPI 7
    * Updated home page and external links of the WebDAV CGI project.
    * Depend on dev-perl/IO-Compress-Brotli, which is required for 1.1.2.
    * Fix unescaped braces (addresses #674772 and #658470)
    * Add note regarding systemd and setuid/setgid webdavwrapper
    * Using EROOT instead of ROOT for displaying installation paths
    * Removed no longer used eutils dependency
