Dear all,
A few weeks ago I was informed about Bug#796954: wxmaxima segfaults
when given some special
characters.(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796954)
The problem is that if a parenthesis is entered in any of wxMaxima's
many wizard dialogs this sends wxMaxima into an infinitive recursion
loop that crashes as soon as all of the stack is used up.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752528#40 now
proposes a 4-line-bugfix and since I tested it on my system - (it seems
to work at least for me) and the bug is very easy to trigger I would
like to ask if the corrected version can be added to
jessie-proposed-updates.
devref 5.5.1 tells me that the first step to do so is to ask you.
The second step would be to build a package that can be uploaded (I
already have the package with the patch ready), so if you tell me i can
do so I will upload it to debian mentors.
And I do have a practical question: The current package has the version
number 13.04.2-4+b1. If I upload my new version it will be 13.04.2-4u1.
Is this correct?
Thanks a lot,
and kind regards,
Gunter.
