Package: asymptote
Version: 0.91-2
Severity: normal
asy currently calls gv with a '-nowatch' option. The current version
of gv in unstable, 3.6.1-12, does not accept this option--it insists
on two dashes for its options ('--nowatch'). This is apparently a
recent change to gv: see
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=12154
Note that this bug is from February; I don't know if the gv
maintainers will act on it. In any case, the current behaviour is
broken. It's trivial to fix to work with recent versions of gv (add
another dash to the call in picture.cc), or you could convince the gv
maintainer to change the behaviour back. (See the patch in
'patches/gv-3.6.1-getopt.patch' in the asymptote distribution.) I'm
not sure whose bug this is...
Peace,
Dylan
