[Bug 1081392] Re: [SRU] Include upstream fix for bug 15496

[Scott Kitterman]

It's possibly worth mentioning that if it turns out these are approved,
I'll go ahead and approve all the backports needed to update owncloud
due to it having security issues.  If that's enough to waive SRU policy,
then stand by for the flood.

Title:
  [SRU] Include upstream fix for bug 15496

Status in “python-django” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “python-django” source package in Precise:
  New

Bug description:
  Upstream bug 15496 fixes a critical problem where multipart messages
  were not getting base64 decoded.  It is required as a pre-requisite to
  backporting maas to precise.

  [Impact]
  This is functionality required as part of the MAAS Next Steps blueprint [1], in order to be able to SRU various new fixes to MAAS in precise. This functionality fixes a critical problem, of not enconding multipart messages to base64. This has been fixed in upstream django 1.3, and the fix is included in 1.4.

  [Test Case]
  This has been tested against MAAS. To test this we simply need to branch the MAAS branch which is being prepared for the SRU, and make sure all tests pass. Tests will fail when this SRU has not being installed. Test will pass when this feature is backported.

  1. bzr branch lp:~maas-maintainers/maas/1.2 maas-sru
  2. cd maas-sru
  3. make test

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal. This is functionality that produces minimal impact to django. On the other hand, the maas-maintainers team has committed to address any related issues and maintain it from this point forward.
