Hi, it seems that the individual change to overcome https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-query-param/ would be https://github.com/defunkt/gist/commit/635b1437a513e9a13367827ee3f74fbbdaa54aa8
But a bit more wide-reaching the old auth flow in general is also deprecated and going away (depending on your account type) already. Therefore one most likely also wants all of: https://github.com/defunkt/gist/pull/323 Because without the new Auth flow it seems logins via the tool are failing now as well: Old: gist-paste --login Obtaining OAuth2 access_token from github. GitHub username: ... GitHub password: Traceback (most recent call last): ... New: gist-paste --login Requesting login parameters...

I'm not sure if this is more an SRU [1] or an item for the newly re-forming backports team [2]. I'd wonder if there are use cases left that still work fine in the current version and that might be broke/changed by upgrading - if that is the case then more backports. If not then an SRU might apply indeed. P.S. I was only triaging this, but not working on it. So anyone else that comes by, feel free to work on it - there will be no collision with me :-) [1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [2]: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2021-August/041587.html ** Also affects: gist (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gist (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gist (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: gist (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: gist (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1940907 Title: gist-paste command is too old and can no longer authenticate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gist/+bug/1940907/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
