Merge lp:~xaba/ubuntu/natty/pytrainer/bug-760885 into lp:ubuntu/natty/pytrainer

[Xavier Bassery]

Small fix to LP #760885 that renders the application unusable if no configuration file is found or if it is empty.

[Barry Warsaw (barry)]

Thanks for your patch Xavier! This seems like a reasonable fix to me. I have two questions:

* Should the log message be changed to indicate that a default configuration is going to be used?

* Now that Natty has been released, is this fix important enough to put through the SRU process?

review: Approve

The application fails to start without a configuration file after being freshly installed so I think that is important enough to put through the SRU process.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I uploaded this to natty-proposed.

[Xavier Bassery (xaba)]

It is my pleasure Barry!
Regarding your first question, you are right that a log message should inform that a default configuration will be used.
I have added that in a new revision.

<dholbach> cjwatson, can you also mark this one as merged https://code.launchpad.net/~xaba/ubuntu/natty/pytrainer/bug-760885/+merge/58908? seems it got into natty-proposed and -updates already
<cjwatson> dholbach: the new revision mentioned at the end of the comment thread too?
<dholbach> cjwatson, hum, looks like not - I'll follow up on the merge proposal
<dholbach> cjwatson, oh no, it's included - it's just not documented in d/changelog
