Subversion / swig1.3

| Philipp Hug 2004-10-26, 7:47 am |
| subversion depends on swig >= 1.3.22-2 which is in unstable. but it's not in
testing yet because swig cannot be put into testing because it would break
subversion 1.0.6-2 ;-)
did I miss something or is this just a bug in the testing script and needs
manual hinting?

Yes, it needs manual hinting and we're aware of this. But it needs to
wait for libhid anyway (two days), so there is no hurry to install the
necessary hint.

I am a swig developer lurking on this list. Building the SWIG runtime
library (which is what causes subversion to depend on SWIG) has been
depreciated since 1.3.20, which was released almost a year ago. About a
week ago, I removed the ability to build the runtime libraries in SWIG CVS,
and so in the next version (1.3.23) you will not be able to build them at
all. We are planning for a release in a week or two.
I am not sure how this will impact debian, but I would seriously encourage
you to build the Python swig wrappers and every other package that depends
on libswigruntime so they don't require the runtime library, and then
remove that library. The runtime library leads to several bugs and
problems, and if those get reported after sarge is released... I am
actually surprised to learn people are still using runtime libraries. You
can completly remove libswig*.so and not lose any functionality, and avoid
a whole bunch of potential bugs.

I am forwarding this information to the subversion maintainer(s), just
to make sure it doesn't get lost.

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud: after a
while, you realize the pig is enjoying it.
