Package: swig
Version: 2.0.11-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch upstream
Control: block 736392 by -1
In version 3.8.0, the Octave developers introduced a change in the header
file version.h that breaks the Octave binding generated by SWIG. In
particular, this causes the plplot package to FTBFS (see Bug#736392).
A fix for this problem has been committed to the upstream Git repository
of SWIG [2] and will supposedly appear in the forthcoming version 3.0.0
[3]. I am filing this bug report anyway, because the Bug#736392 will
block the transition 3.6 -> 3.8 of the octave package, as required in
Bug#735557 (hence the severity level "important").
