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.
It looks like the proposed patch (which is the same as the one in
patches/gv-3.6.1-getopt.patch) is in the CVS version of gv already.
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...
I think that for Debian, since we only have one version of gv in
Debian to support, I will add a second dash until gv upstream releases
a new version (which will have the patch). And then I'll remove the
second dash, to keep in sync with Asymptote upstream.
