[Python-modules-team] Bug#688079: python3-cairo: Gdk.cairo_region_create_from_surface() raises an error in GI

[Martin Pitt]

Package: python3-cairo
Version: 1.10.0+dfsg-2
Tags: patch

Hello,

Gdk.cairo_region_create_from_surface() and similar methods cannot
currently be used through introspection as Cairo.Region is a disguised
struct. This needs to be boxed to become introspectable.

This was reported upstream in

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44336

and fixed in upstream git:

  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pycairo/commit/?id=75e82a1b3f495a3abbc78e50a5c66356d320fb15

In https://launchpad.net/bugs/1028115 you expressed interest to
backport this to the current package, which would indeed be nice. Then
I'll apply the corresponding pygobject patch in the Debian packages as
well.

Thanks for considering,

Martin
