Patch to let gnome-python-2.10.0 compile with gnome-canvas-2.11.1 none

Description Pekka Pietikäinen 2005-07-15 12:36:18 UTC 
Description of problem:

The following script segfaults on x86_64 (i386 is fine):

ee-cn0001 (pp):~ >more crash.py 
import gnomecanvas
bp=gnomecanvas.path_def_new([(gnomecanvas.MOVETO,0,0),(gnomecanvas.CURVETO,1,2,3,4,5,6),(0,0,0)])
bp=gnomecanvas.path_def_new([(gnomecanvas.MOVETO,0,0),(gnomecanvas.CURVETO,1,2,3,4,5,6),(0,0,0)])
bp=gnomecanvas.path_def_new([(gnomecanvas.MOVETO,0,0),(gnomecanvas.CURVETO,1,2,3,4,5,6),(0,0,0)])

ee-cn0001 (pp):~ >python crash.py 
zsh: segmentation fault  python crash.py

This (and a much more complex app I'm using those beziers in) gets fixed by
libgnomecanvas 2.11.1, the python bindings might need to get recompiled as well
to use the new interface that doesn't suffer from this problem.

Rawhide is fine, btw. So this is really a RFE: please update
gnomecanvas/pygtk2/gnome-python2 in future FC4 errata  :-)

Correction, rawhide has the bug too, I just had a non-rpmified version around
with the bugfix installed. But in any case libgnomecanvas 2.11.1 + gnome-python
2.10.0  fixes the bug, in fact g-p won't even recompile in rawhide without a
tiny patch d (attached). g-p 2.11.3 works out-of-the-box, but introduces quite a
few new dependancies. Not a problem for rawhide, sure.

Well. Rawhide has had thing bug fixed for quite some time -> closing.
