Bug Description

Hi,

Upstream has released a bugfix version that fixes several systematic memory corruptions when copying images. Without this update, 3.14.2 is unstable and crashes regularly. The bug fix is the only item in this release's changelog. I'm personally interested in having a vivid package but you might want to consider a SRU for other distros.

Upstream release statement: http://www.imagination-land.org/posts/2015-03-21-gpaste-3.14.3-released.html

Thanks.

Since new features are included, this bug can't be fixed till 15.10. If someone can confirm that the issue is in ubuntu, backporting a specific patch shouldn't be too hard.

Let me copy/paste the upstream changelog for you:

* fix crashes related to images support

And that's it. Diff between 3.14.2 and 3.14.3 attached. No new features.

If you don't package it for Ubuntu Vivid now, I will because I need it -- but I won't do it properly because I don't understand the mysteries of Debian packaging. Your GNOME users will probably end up filling bug reports and you'll need to do a SRU later anyway :-)

+1 for a fix to this for 15.04. Would be very much appreciated.

Alternatively if anyone can suggested the best way to upgrade I'd be delighted.
