Twitter plugin no longer receives updates, and all posts report failure despite success

Changes int post ids to long

I will download the patch when I get home to my laptop. I just wanted to add that I'm getting notifications for direct messages. Although they do appear twice in succession. Everything else behaves exactly as reported in the bug. If everyone else is also able to see notifications for direct messages I think it should be added to the main bug report.

Notifications for DMs don't suffer from this because they're not connected
to the timeline and therefore dont have an astronomically high ID number. If
you're getting doubles, please file a seperate report and I'll check into
that.

At first I thought it shouldn't be a related bug for the same reason you stated. But it did happen the same day of "twitpocalypse"...it had never happened before...so I thought it was related somehow. But weird bug aside I just got home and it's no longer sending double notifications for directs. I will refrain from filing another report and you guys/gals can just ignore my first message.

have a good day...and I just wished I knew how to code to help out with these sort of fixes...

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-do-plugins - 0.8.1.3+dfsg-2ubuntu2

gnome-do-plugins (0.8.1.3+dfsg-2ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/20_twitter_overflow.dpatch: Backport patch from upstream
    bzr (and Debian SVN) to fix broken Twitter message sending. The number of
    messages posted to Twitter has overflowed the size of an int(!), so these
    variables have been converted to longs. (LP: #387525)

Here is the debdiff for jaunty-proposed. Please approve it.

ACK.

Please update debian/patches/20_twitter_overflow.dpatch to include a description instead of "## DP: No description" on upload though.

Done and uploaded. Thanks.

accepted into jaunty-proposed, please test

To enable proposed, do I do that in the "main" repo or just for Gnome-Do?

Daniel, See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for information on how to enable proposed to get the update.

Please note additionally that, due to a limitation in gnome-do (to be fixed for Karmic), you will have to remove or move the .local/share/gnome-do/plugins-0.8.1.3/ and then re-enable the plugin for the fix to show up. This will blow away all of your settings, unfortunately.

Thanks,
Iain

The fix did the trick for me in Jaunty! :-)

I have enabled jaunty-proposed, but have not got the update yet...

Thank you! :)

Never mind - it works perfectly again.

It worked for me too!. It's amazing how quick you can fix something in an open source project. That's one (of many) of the reasons that I love it :).

Thanks again! =)
