Change logs for software-properties source package in Artful

  • software-properties (0.96.24.17) artful; urgency=medium
    
      * tests/test_dbus.py: Don't call GTK from multiple processes. We started
        seeing software-properties tests failing with fatal X errors after GTK
        3.22.24 was uploaded. I think what happened was:
          - the testsuite imports GTK (via GI)
          - this import itself initialises GTK, retrieving the value of a load of
            X atoms
          - it forks to start software-properties-dbus in a separate process
          - this process then accesses another X atom after we ask it to do stuff
          - X doesn't like that and kills us
        The testsuite is now rewritten to not fork. We start a separate *thread*
        to run the D-Bus service in. A benefit of this is that we're more
        asynchronous than we were before, so some of the tests are slightly
        refactored to not run their own main loop but instead check that the
        signal emission they're interested in has happened. (LP: #1721828)

      * add-apt-repository: Don't raise a Traceback when Ctrl-c is used to cancel
        an operation. Thanks to Launchpad user Yeison Valero fo the initial patch.

  • software-properties (0.96.24.14) artful; urgency=medium
    
      * softwareproperties/MirrorTest.py: fix some imports so that the script can
        be used independent of software-properties-gtk.

  • software-properties (0.96.24.13) zesty; urgency=medium
    
      * software-properties-gtk: also fix the backend code to set the gnome
        debconf frontend, without which libgtk2-perl goes unused.
