$ rpm -q perl-SVK perl-SVK-2.0.2-3.fc9.noarch $ rpm -q swig swig-1.3.33-2.fc9.i386 $ Every invocation of "svk" generates the warning: Name "swig_runtime_data::type_pointer3" used only once: possible typo at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 226. The command still runs but the warning gets a bit tiring after a while. P.S. Based on the error, it's possible this is a SWIG issue instead.
According to the following link, this is a bug in swig, which got fixed in 1.3.35. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.swig.devel/17870 http://sourceforge.net/tracker2/index.php?func=detail&aid=1904537&group_id=1645&atid=101645 So the problem will be fixed as soon as perl-SVK is rebuilt against the new swig (in Fedora 10 and rawhide).
Unfortunately this is still a problem in Fedora 10... And indeed the FC10 release still ships perl-SVK-2.0.2-3.fc9.noarch
Rebuilding perl-SVK in Fedora 10, or upgrading to newest release of SVK does not fix the warnings. SVK is noarch and does not use swig directly. It uses the subversion-perl bindings. The latest subversion-perl-1.5.4-3 was built on 2008-10-27 while swig-1.3.35-2.fc10 was built on 2008-05-16 so it presumably was built with the latest swig.
It looks like rebuilding subversion-perl is not going to help. The problem is that the perl bindings inside subversion-1.5.4 were built with 1.3.31. In particular, the C files in subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native in the subversion-1.5.4.tar.gz contain old version of the swig-generated C code which was changed in swig 1.3.35. I am not sure if subversion swig bindings can be rebuilt with newer version of swig. Or if this needs to be done by subversion packager or upstream.
Should we file a bug against subversion?
I entered #480503 against subversion to have the swig bindings rebuilt with 1.3.35.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This is still an issue in Fedora 10. I haven't tested Fedora 11. This isn't my bug so I can't change the version.
It may be worth noting that svk's developer has announced that he will no longer be supporting it. So all this could be moot.
While true, I think the problem is more based in the SVN Swig bindings so still appropriate. However that's probably bug #480503 Still, I think F11 still has SVK so this would still be an issue. And F10 certainly has SVK and it IS an issue.
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
As I said in Comment #10, this is still an issue with F10. I'm not the creator so I cannot change the version. And apparently I cannot reopen this, either. :(
