Comment 61 for bug 337759

Hello,

I propose to fix the problem at the source. The trunk version of OpenERP, expected to stabilize around Q1 1010, is already deprecated XML lib free (thanks to fellow contribs).

Considering the issue is now worse on Karmic (read that report https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+bug/429519 ), I proposed to Tiny to backport this fix back to the 5-0 releases of OpenERP. Yes this is a significant change. However, it's easy to test and will then behave in predicable ways. I did lot's of tests myself, have been very careful with the merge (more than Tiny themselves as logs show) and I just ask for testing heavily, but merging, to fix the issue once for all for Ubuntu and other modern distros. Also consider that I have been integrating OpenERP for two years as an OpenERP partner with around 5 success stories so I know a bit about it.

My fixed 5-0 up to date branch is there: https://code.launchpad.net/~akretion-team/openobject-server/openobject-server_5.0_patches

My merge proposal to Tiny for 5-0 server branch is there:
https://code.launchpad.net/~akretion-team/openobject-server/openobject-server_5.0_patches/+merge/14112

If you think that's the right thing to do, please weight behind me for the merge into the "stable" OpenERP branch.
