Description Jakob Schiotz 2005-07-01 01:52:04 UTC
I would like to request a version bump of swig.  Version 1.3.24 is out, it is
mainly a bug fix release over 1.3.23.

By the way, 1.3.23 is hard-masked.  Is there a reason for this?
Well, I know there must be :-) Is there a problem with it, that I should be
aware of?

Huh?

$ grep -C2 swig /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
# This Swig version breaks a lot of stuff, since it doesn't
# provide the runtime libraries
=dev-lang/swig-1.3.24

I could have sworn that it was version 1.3.23 that I installed yesterday - maybe
I need new glasses :-)

Regarding the runtime library: it apparently became obsolete, one should just
use the right flags to swig, then it is built into one of the modules.  I do not
know the details, since I have not used it.

PS. Version 1.3.25 is out - but they have apparently forgotten to announce it on
their main page.
