Bug Description

clutter.Color(R,G,B,A) on 64bit results in values of 0,0,0,255, making everything black. Projects that rely on this package fail to work on 64bit.
This bug was fixed in the 0.6.3 release of pyclutter. Projects that use python clutter fail to work completely, everything is just black. For example, Entertainer (https://bugs.launchpad.net/entertainer/+bug/260504)

SRU: I've got a patch from git and prepare for hardy.

I'd like to see this fixed, as Entertainer doesn't yet work with clutter 0.8, and I can't continue to work with this bug in 0.6. I can get this into my PPA, but I'm not familiar with the distro processes to get it released. If a distro person could assist, I could fix this bug.

I have a fixed package in my PPA that I've tested and found that it fixes the problem. However, I'd like this to actually get this into Hardy (it being the LTS), but I'm unsure of how to do this. Can I solicit some distro team help?

Even though I don't have a 64-bit processor, I've answered this problem on IRC and through lp questions enough times to know that it is true. Marking as high because it wipes out an entire range of potential users for Entertainer. According to an upstream comment from Emmanuele Bassi, this was fixed and released in 0.6.3

Marking as only affecting hardy pyclutter (intrepid's having this removed, or updating this, and entertainer isn't where the bug is)

Entertainer may not be where the bug is in code, but it is an upstream bug that we want to watch because, without the fix, our 64 bit users can't use our application. The bug description still accurately describes Entertainer's behavior on 64 bit platforms in Hardy.

Well, looks like this bug didn't get touched long enough for Entertainer to no longer support clutter 0.6.

Hi Artur,

The patch for this bug looks good, but it's SRU practice to not add a patchsys to packages not using a patchsys. Please revise your branch and directly apply the patch. Once this is done, consider this an ACK from the SRU team.

Accepted pyclutter into hardy-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
