Description

On Solaris on Sparc you can have a usec value too long to be converted from a long to an int. The macro RecentChanges in v1.3.1 tries to cast a usec value to int at one point; removing the cast seems to fix it.

• The real fix is not to remove int() but to change it to long(). This is only needed if you run on Python 2.2. It works "as is" on Python >= 2.3.

Steps to reproduce

1. install a fresh 1.3.1 on a Solaris/Sparc server
2. create a new instance

3. go to the RecentChanges page

4. get a backtrace pointing to an overflow error while converting int to long at line 86 of $PREFIX/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/MoinMoin/macro/RecentChanges.py
