[Bug 1534858] Re: TAGFILES broken in current Ubuntu Xenial (fixed in >=1.8.10)

[Jose Luis Rivero]

The related branch (forked from xenial-proposed) has the upstream
modifications in the form of a patch applied to the current Xenial
version. I've verified that the bug is present without the patched
version and it is fixed with the changes.

I don't know why I can not request a merge in bzr doxygen branch as I
did in the past with some other packages, sorry.

Title:
  TAGFILES broken in current Ubuntu Xenial (fixed in >=1.8.10)

Status in doxygen package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The version present in Ubuntu Xenial (1.8.9.1) has a severe bug for
  those of us using tagfiles.

  Using a tagfile generated for another project some symbols from the current project are not being extracted anymore.
   - Upstream bug and full description in: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744762

  To get a fix into the current development in Ubuntu Xenial I see two
  options:

  1. Cherry pick the patch from the doxygen repository to our current 1.8.9.1 version
  2. Sync the latest version (1.8.11) present in Debian experimental

  I have time to work on 1 if we want to go with this option or if some work needs to be to port the option 2.
  Thanks.
