Description Orion Poplawski 2014-01-14 20:57:19 UTC

Description of problem:

octave 3.8 has introduced some incompatibilities for swig.  This was addressed upstream:

https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/bugs/1353/
https://github.com/swig/swig/commit/5b167cc12daf9ea275c17fedaefc975450613ab2

This patch applies cleanly (minus the changes to CHANGES.current) to 2.0.11.  

I would really like this in rawhide so I can try to re-enable octave support for plplot.  We could either apply this patch or start tracking the 3.0.0 upstream development.  Preferences?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.11-2

Comment 1 Dmitrij S. Kryzhevich 2014-02-21 04:39:47 UTC

I'm interested in supporting new octave too.

Comment 2 Björn 'besser82' Esser 2014-02-25 13:42:58 UTC

The SWIG-developers just released 3.0.0 beta1 [1] about a week ago, which offers support for Octave 3.8.0+.  I'd really vote +1 to rebase rawhide-branch to this.

Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2014-03-02 03:29:13 UTC

This is fixed now in swig-2.0.12-1.fc21.
