[Edgy/Feisty/Gutsy SRU request] getweb script of foo2zjs needs update of download URLs

Stable Release Update (SRU) Request -- for GUTSY

Impact of the bug

Everyone using Gutsy with the foo2zjs package which Gutsy ships is not able any more to download firmware files and color profiles easily using the getweb utility as on the upstream server the files were moved.

Fix of the bug

The fix is a simple update of the URLs in the getweb script. In Hardy this was done by replacing foo2zjs with the newest upstream version. To keep the impact low in Gutsy, I have simply updated the URLs in the getweb script. Here is the debdiff:

https://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/foo2zjs/foo2zjs_20070625-0ubuntu1_20070625-0ubuntu1.1.debdiff

Changes affect only the getweb script.

Patch on the current stable release:

https://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/foo2zjs/foo2zjs_20070625-0ubuntu1_20070625-0ubuntu1.1.debdiff

Source packages are here:

Everyone who is suffering this problem please test and report here. Thanks.

Fixed in Hardy with foo2zjs 20071109-0ubuntu1:

foo2zjs (20071109-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - Snapshot from Nov 9, 2007
    - Added support for Lexmark C500n
    - Fixes with well-tempered screening (WTS) in newer Ghostscript versions
  * debian/patches/10-makefile.dpatch: Removed, merged upstream.

I have re-uploaded all files in

https://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/foo2zjs/

for a small correction, adding the reference to this bug report to the changelog entry to simplify the handling of the SRU.

I realize now that this problem affects all previous versions of Ubunty that have getweb in foo2zjs. Can we open a bug tracker for them as well?
I suggest fixing the inconsistent file in the foo2zjs packages, for all versions.

Till, the Gutsy patch looks good, I will upload it soon. Can you please prepare SRUs for dapper/edgy/feisty, too? Thank you!

Dapper did not yet ship the getweb script, closing Dapper task ...

Pitti, the versions for Edgy and Feisty are in place now:

Stable Release Update (SRU) Request -- for EDGY and FEISTY

Description of impact and fix of the bug are as for Gutsy, see above.

Thanks, Till. Uploaded and accepted into edgy/feisty/gutsy-proposed. Please test. I guess the test case, as mentioned in the description, ist just "getweb 1020"?

Yes, to test, just do "getweb 1020", or any command listed when running simply "getweb".

Hugo, can you please test the package from gutsy-proposed?

The deb file in https://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/foo2zjs/binary/ installed and worked well. I think we can release it now.
Thanks.

I have successfully verified the fix for Gutsy. I was unable to use getweb with foo2zjs version 20070625-0ubuntu1 but was able to with version 20070625-0ubuntu1.1 from gutsy-proposed.

I have successfully verified the fix for Feisty. I was unable to use getweb with foo2zjs version 20061224-0ubuntu3 but was able to with version 20061224-0ubuntu3 .1 from feisty-proposed.

I have successfully verified the fix of Edgy, however I was told that foo2zjs would be DOWNGRADED when install foo2zjs version 20060625dfsg-2ubuntu0.1. I was unable to use getweb with foo2zjs version 20060625dfsg-2 but was able to with version 20060625dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 from edgy-proposed.
