[Bug 1448823] Re: Please backport swig 3.0.2-1ubuntu1 (universe) from utopic

[Thomas Ward]

NOTE: None of these binaries is actually executable.  These are mostly
interpreter libraries called during compiling and building by other
functions in order to generate scripting interfaces to C/C++.  This is a
build-dep for ZNC 1.6, which is a different bug.  There was a backport
request for ZNC 1.6 from Vivid to Trusty in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/znc/+bug/1444943 however this
backport request is still necessary as a prerequisite before I go doing
backport tests for the ZNC package or before requesting such backports.

** Description changed:

  Please backport swig 3.0.2-1ubuntu1 (universe) from utopic to trusty.
  
  Reason for the backport:
  ========================
  Prerequisite for Bug #1444943 against ZNC (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/znc/+bug/1444943)
  
  The swig3.0 libraries are required for more recent versions of ZNC.  ZNC
  1.6 has a build-dep on swig3.0, and as swig3.0 is not in Trusty it
  should be backported.
  
  Test builds will be available in
  https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/backport-buildtests.  Note
  that I already have swig3.0 backports available in
  https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/swig3.0 and there are no
  fail to build errors on Trusty, or even Precise.
  
  NOTE: If the previous issue (pre-2013) of backports not being able to
  build-dep on other backports is not yet resolved, then REJECT this
  backport request with that reasoning.

  Testing:
  ========
  Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
  
  You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
  $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s utopic -d trusty swig
  
  * trusty:
  [X] Package builds without modification
- [ ] swig3.0 installs cleanly - Runtime Test Not Applicable: swig3.0 is an interface that generates scripting interfaces to C/C++ code. Testing would require building with swig3.0 available for a given application that is not swig3.0.  The ZNC 1.6 packaging from Vivid is an example of something we could build test this with, however.
- [ ] swig3.0-doc installs cleanly - Runtime Test Not Applicable: This is the HTML documentation and is not an executable.
- [ ] swig3.0-examples installs cleanly - Runtime Test Not Applicable: This is just examples of applications for SWIG and is not an executable.
