Subject: blender: Please move on to python2.5

Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 23:40:04 -0400

Package: blender
Version: 2.45-4+b1
Severity: wishlist

Trying to use the NDS GL CallList export script, i faced an error¹.
As shown below, '/usr/bin/blender-bin' is compiled with python2.4.

I see the blender package also depends on python (therefore 2.5), how
come 2.4 is used instead of 2.5?

Please move to 2.5...

Thanks,

-Pascal

Indeed, that's planned already, but I'd like to upload a fix for another
(important) bug along with the python version switch.

Because the default python version got bumped since the last upload of
blender. And since Blender doesn't support switching “easily” to another
python version, I didn't include a mechanism so that it gets
automatically built against the current default python version.

I know about that, but thanks for being explicit.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Note that this might be delayed a bit, because of
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/04/msg00012.html

It might be that such an update (which would make blender possibly delay
the transition) might be accepted anyway, since there's also a security
fix pending, bumping blender's urgency. I'll discuss this with the RMs.

Cheers,

Description: 
 blender    - Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer
Closes: 441216 463749 477761 477808
Changes: 
 blender (2.45-5) unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * debian/control:
      - Adjust Maintainer and Uploaders according to last years' activity.
      - Update my mail address. Many thanks to Florian Ernst who sponsored
        all my uploads.
   * Switch from python2.4 to python2.5 (Closes: #477761):
      - Replace python2.4-dev with python2.5-dev in Build-Depends.
      - Refresh the following patch to set BF_PYTHON_VERSION accordingly:
         - 50_debian_build_config.
   * Fix CVE-2008-1102: “Stack-based buffer overflow in the imb_loadhdr
     function allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary
     code via a .blend file that contains a crafted Radiance RGBE image.”
     Add upstream patch as pointed to by Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>
     (thanks!), which basically adds a check on sscanf() return code and
     limits the size of accepted %s parameters (Closes: #477808):
      - 30_fix_CVE-2008-1102.
   * Bump urgency to “high” accordingly.
   * Disable the “-Wdeclaration-after-statement” C_WARN flag (which is only
     valid for C/ObjC but not for C++) in config/linux2-config.py, by
     updating the following patch:
      - 50_debian_build_config.
   * Use DEB_HOST_ARCH to determine whether the host architecture is
     big-endian so as to pass an extra “-D__BIG_ENDIAN__” flag to the
     compiler, thus fixing the buggy endianness detection (upstream lists
     every platform, but misses at least hppa, mips, and s390). Thanks to
     Stefan Gartner for the tip (Closes: #441216).
   * Make scons understand what is wanted from it:
      - Pass “-g” and “-O” options through CFLAGS.
      - Pass “-D” options through CPPFLAGS.
   * Add patch to make blender able to use the compatibility layer that
     scons is setting up for its Option->Variable transition, initiated in
     scons 0.98.2-1 (deprecation will follow, but Blender should be updated
     upstream in the meanwhile), thanks to Mark Brown (see #477912):
      - 40_workaround_scons_options_deprecation.
   * Switch from ttf-bitstream-vera to ttf-dejavu (Closes: #463749), thanks
     to Sven Arvidsson:
      - debian/control: Update Depends.
      - debian/rules: Update symlink.
