[SRU] qtiplot package needs to be rebuilt against new SIP libraries

As the one that has to deal with this every release, this is kind of infuriating... Ubuntu, how can we we stop this from happening?
The python-sip bump occurred Tue, 18 Mar 2014 10:40:51 +0400, one month before release - and no one rebuilt depending packages?

I'm sorry to ask you to do this again, Dufay. In a few hours, could you try:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:showard314/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qtiplot

I have tried the rebuilt package from your ppa: the problem is fixed! The error message doesn't pop up anymore and python scripting works perfectly.

Thanks a lot for your time.

I hope you will find a solution for you to don't be obliged to do this again at next release...

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

I had the same problem. I've tried to compile qtiplot by myself, but failed
( see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtiplot/+bug/1310538).

Version from the ppa works well. Thank you

Ok, let's get this started.

Sponsors: no source change rebuild required for utopic
https://code.launchpad.net/~showard314/ubuntu/utopic/qtiplot/utopic_1311721

then we can start SRU

Thanks , Daniel H - here's the SRU branch against trusty-proposed

I have rebuilt all packages that depend on sip-api-* or sip-py3api-*. It looks like your package should use dh_sip (and/or dh_sip3 for python3 version) so that correct dependencies are generated (and only after that it will take part in transitions).

I forgot to add that the correct dh_sip usage will be adding these lines to your debian/rules:

    dh_sip -p[python2 package]
    dh_sip3 -p[python3 package]

I hope you can add dh_sip usage in Debian before the transition starts there (see http://bugs.debian.org/744377).

Anyway, signed and uploaded to Trusty SRU queue. I changed the version from -8ubuntu0.1 to -8build0.1 because the version in Trusty should not be higher than version in Utopic.

Thank you! I never knew about dh_sip. I'll take care of it.
Cheers,
Scott

Hello Dufay, or anyone else affected,

Accepted qtiplot into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtiplot/0.9.8.9-8build0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I am / was affected too. Fix works for me!

Installed from proposed Repo on Trusty. Details:
System: Kubuntu 14.04 with KDE 4.13.0
QtiPlot Build: 0.9.8.9-8build0.1

I did NOT check on Utopic. Hence did I refrain from changing verification tag.

Thanks a lot for your fix!

Thanks! Verify car job - done refers to trusty-proposed, which you tested. I updated the tag.

Verification-done sorry auto complete

This bug was fixed in the package qtiplot - 0.9.8.9-8build0.1
