Bug Description

See http://www.swig.org/: newer versions of SWIG support Python 3.0 (and thus, work well with Python 2.6).
Packaging the new swig version would be a good idea in order to help with the python 2++ transition.

Also there is some in swig prior to 1.3.39 which prevents wrapitk to be build properly, or requires some hacking.

Version 1.3.40 is available from upstream now. It includes numerous bug fixes (compared to current packaged 1.3.36) and improved support for several languages. This should be very low risk since nothing depends on swig (except other packages from the same source package).

I usually create a 1.3.40 package using the upstream release and build from source. Would be nice to have it in the repository instead.

One more comment: I was able to build a 1.3.40 package using the 1.3.39 source from debian sid after changing the python version in the control file to allow python 2.6 and by dropping upstream_svn_changeset_11213.diff from the patches.

This bug was fixed in the package swig1.3 - 1.3.40-2ubuntu1

---------------
swig1.3 (1.3.40-2ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

swig1.3 (1.3.40-2) unstable; urgency=low

* Retarget for unstable.

swig1.3 (1.3.40-1) experimental; urgency=low

* New upstream release (closes: #543684).

swig1.3 (1.3.39-2) unstable; urgency=low

* Merge upstream changeset 11213, fixing the Subversion bindings.

swig1.3 (1.3.39-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * debian/control: Remove ocaml from Build-Depends (not available in sid
    right now). Probably we can drop most of the build depends anyway, they
    do not affect the swig binary AFAIK. However, when running the test
    suite, we should better have them available...
  * debian/rules: Use DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=.svn to support building directly
    from Subversion checkout.

swig1.3 (1.3.38-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Apply patch by Petr Salinger to enable java bindings for GNU/kFreeBSD
    (closes: #497789).
  * New upstream release (closes: #514060).
  * Remove patch to config.guess, config.sub (upstream is up-to-date).
  * Update patch to keep documentation files in make clean.
  * Use python2.5 instead of python2.4.
  * Install Examples/php instead of Examples/php4 (which is no longer).
