[pkg-x2go-devel] Bug#780130: unblock (pre-approval): python-x2go/0.5.0.1-3

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please consider unblocking planned upload of package python-x2go.

I skimmed through python-x2go upstream Git and considered the below
patches important enough to attempt for an unblock request.

+  * debian/patches:
+    + Add 0003_use-correct-loglevel-WARN.patch. Use the proper
+      log.loglevel_WARN expression (instead of undefined
+      log.loglevel_WARNING). Upstream patch needed
+      rebasing and a modification to apply correctly. (Closes: #780128).

-> Cherry-picked from upstream. Prevent python-x2go from throwing
exceptions due to flaw in log message calls.

+    + Update 0001_catch-connection-exception-during-session-startup.patch.
+      Fix expression errors in two Python exceptions. (Closes: #780125).

-> I should have paid more attention here, in the first place. The issue
got fixed upstream way back already, but I forgot to provide the fix in
Debian (until today).

+    + Add 0005_fix-password-auth-if-keys-have-passphrase.patch. Fix password
+      authentication in pyhoca-cli if people have default SSH keys locked with
+      a passphrase. (Closes: #780127).

-> Nasty issue if people use pyhoca-cli (X2Go command line client) and
have locked SSH private keys. PyHoca-CLI won't stop trying to unlock the
SSH key instead of using the interactively provide password for normal
username/password SSH authentication.


light+love,
Mike
