Source: swig Version: 4.1.0-0.2 Severity: important Tags: upstream patch Dear Maintainer,
Version 8 of the octave package is now in experimental and will be uploaded to unstable as soon as bookworm is released. The version of the swig package currently in unstable (4.1.0-0.2) produces Octave bindings that do not work with Octave 8. This makes packages that build Octave bindings via SWIG, like plplot, fail to build from source. This issue has been reported upstream [1] and a patch is available via a pull request on GitHub [2]. I prepared a patch for the swig package, which has been submitted as a merge request on Salsa.d.o. With this patched version, the plplot package builds correctly against Octave 8. I am hereby setting the severity of this bug report to "important", but it should be raised to "serious" when Octave 8 will be uploaded to unstable. Best, Rafael Laboissière [1] https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/2508 [2] https://github.com/swig/swig/pull/2512.patch [3] https://salsa.debian.org/debian/swig/-/merge_requests/8
