[SRU] lsdvd

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Since the package comes from Debian, I opened a bug on Debian for this: http://bugs.debian.org/746163

This can be fixed by the attached patch.

The attachment "lsdvd.patch" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

I workaround this in acidrip by manually installing the lsdvd package from Precise (lsdvd_0.16-3ubuntu1_amd64)

I've just applied the patch attached to this bug and added the resulting trusty package to my PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~fmarier/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

I can confirm that the patch does indeed fix the problem.

I can confirm that downgrading lsdvd to precise works.
I just don't get how something as fundamental and popular as ripping a dvd can be completely broken in a LTS release and nobody has any intention of fixing it. I terribly confused.

the fixed version is in utopic, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsdvd/0.16-5

nixomose, I changed this bug to SRU request, please follow the procedures described here [1] if you want the bug fixed in trusty. Thanks

Someone needs to prepare a debdiff appropriate for an SRU into trusty containing all of the changes that went into the utopic package. I'm unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for now, since there is nothing here to sponsor.

Please attach a debdiff and when that is done, re-subscribe ubuntu-sponsors again.

Thanks.

Hi Marc, the debdiff is fairly trivial, and should be good the one listed there
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/174219383/lsdvd_0.16-4_0.16-5.diff.gz

(with just a little sed for the target release of course)

Hey! I've readied an upload on my patch pilot shift and I've tested that it now produces the same -Oy (Python) output as the utopic version, unlike before.

Could you test it on 14.04 LTS from:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:timo-jyrinki/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lsdvd

Note that if you've installed a higher version number already, you will need to install the .deb directly from https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+sourcepub/4444970/+listing-archive-extra instead.

The reason I ask for extra testing is that while modifying the patch as seen in the debdiff seems to affect the output, the Acidrip itself still does not seem to show anything for me when I "Load" the DVD video source. The lsdvd output on the command line seems to show the tracks etc. I tried other reverse dependencies of lsdvd, but couldn't find one that would be suitable for testing the python output change.

So, I'm not sure it's worth uploading if Acidrip doesn't get fixed by the update. On the other hand, I've never used Acidrip before, I'm using an external DVD drive, so it might be that it actually fixes the issue at hand but just doesn't work for me.

I'm ok uploading this if I get reports of it (as tested via my PPA) fixing the issue.

Could someone please test and comment on the PPA package in comment #13?

It's very broken for me, sorry. I recommend just pulling 17.0-1 from Debian. That works fine for me.

errr, 0.17-1.

0.17-1 is in Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS would need a cherry-picked bugfix for this bug only that fits into Stable Release Updates guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

Since the PPA package in comment #13 doesn't seem to work, once again, there is nothing to sponsor here.

I'm unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for now. Please attach a debdiff to fix this issue, and when that is done, re-subscribe ubuntu-sponsors again.

Thanks.
