[Pkg-graphite-maint] Bug#824962: graphite-web: Not work with django 1.9, upgrade to master branch ?

[Javier Barroso]

Package: graphite-web
Version: 0.9.15+debian-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After installing on sid, not graph is showed, when you pick on the icon:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py",
line 149, in get_response
    response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py",
line 147, in get_response
    response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/graphite/render/views.py",
line 56, in renderView
    (graphOptions, requestOptions) = parseOptions(request)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/graphite/render/views.py",
line 236, in parseOptions
    queryParams = request.REQUEST
AttributeError: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'REQUEST'

Researching on internet, it was fixed on master[1], I'm not sure if a
cherry pick or a merge should be enough
