[Python-apps-team] Bug#716984: picard: must escape / in webservice requests

[Christophe Rhodes]

Package: picard
Version: 1.0-1csr1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The musicbrainz webservice has recently upgraded to lucene 4, introducing
regexp search using / characters.  This means that any literal / characters
in searches now need to be escaped, where they did not before.  This
unfortunately matters for the current release of picard, even though this
fix will (eventually) make its way into new versions.

The patch in https://github.com/musicbrainz/picard/pull/148 allowed
searches for releases with "/" in the title to function correctly.  (The
1csr1 debian version in this bug report is from me testing that change).

Thanks,

Christophe
