> 1) Fix the development release to not be brittle in this way, so it won't unnecessarily break if Python is updated in a way that doesn't break its API in a way that matters to this package.
Done. It no longer tests for python versions at all, but still needs to grab the python version for internal functions. > 2) Fix the SRU upload to also not be brittle in this way, so it won't unnecessarily break against a newer version of Python were we to add it to 24.04 during its lifetime, as we did for 22.04. For example, you could the patch you're adding so it works for all future Python versions, not just 3.12. Done in the same fashion. > 3) This also needs some further explanation, please. Is this related to "since it could crash upon closure", or something else? What's the status of this? Are you proposing this SRU on the basis that it's definitely better than the current state? All of this should be documented, please. The "since it could crash upon closure" is related to WxPython and not related to this bug at all. As stated, this has not occurred in my testing of the actual binary in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~eeickmeyer/+archive/ubuntu/displaycaltest. > > > ++@pytest.mark.skip(reason="Test segfaults with python 3.12 - further > > > investigation required.") This is related to an internal test not during build, but during runtime upon launch. Upstream has not yet figured out why it segfaults at this point (upstream is now maintaining abandoned code and is not the original author), so they're working diligently on it. However, as stated in the description, I argue that having a functioning application is better than a flaky test that crashes the entire application. As far as I can see, the application functions normally without the test. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2061329 Title: [SRU] displaycal 3.9.11-2 needs patch to work with Python 3.12 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/displaycal-py3/+bug/2061329/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
