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

[Thomas Ward]

** 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)
+ Prerequisite for Bug #1444943 against ZNC (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/znc/+bug/1444943) and a prerequisite for any ZNC 1.6+ backports (with the current packaging and requirements) to ever be done.
  
  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
  [X] 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.
  [X] swig3.0-doc installs cleanly - Runtime Test Not Applicable: This is the HTML documentation and is not an executable.
  [X] swig3.0-examples installs cleanly - Runtime Test Not Applicable: This is just examples of applications for SWIG and is not an executable.
  
  No reverse dependencies

+ follow the typical PPA versioning scheme as the idea is that PPA will
+ always supersede what's in Ubuntu Backports as ZNC needs newer
+ libraries) and there are no fail to build errors on Trusty, or even
+ Precise.  The backported version in my swig3.0 PPA is actively used in
+ build tests on every single commit to the ZNC github repository (on
+ Travis-CI) and the package operates as expected.  I also use the
+ backported version in that swig3.0 PPA of mine as part of the build-deps
+ for the ZNC Stable PPAs I maintain, and they operate well and work.
