Hi,
I would like to cherry-pick a patch fixing the displaying of articles in
wike to stable. It's already been fixed in a newer upstream release
present in forky.
[ Reason ]
Wikipedia changed their API for mobile, thus breaking the CSS in wike.
This leads to the program still displaying articles, though they are
unreadable (black text on black background). For the initial report see
#1119977.
[ Impact ]
While the app remains usable per se the usability is greatly reduced.
[ Tests ]
I manually tested that a cherry-picked upstream commit fixes the issue.
Furthermore, a contributor tested the upstream commit in #1119977 and
verified it works.
[ Risks ]
The risk is fairly low IMO, as the code change just adds the correct
useragent as one line change (see
https://github.com/hugolabe/Wike/commit/8078bbb38385c9e7bb206ac7
01e9c7dd6d31707)
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
Add cherry-picked upstream patch setting the correct useragent for
mobile wikipedia, thus fixing the UX issue (#1119977)
best,
werdahias

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix new redirection of mobile URLs implemented by
Wikipedia
+
+Wikipedia has implemented a change to the way it serves the mobile version
of
its content, which now no longer uses the ".m." subdomain. This causes Wike
to
display the desktop version and the custom css is not applied correctly.
