  * New upstream release.

Luca,

What do you think about this request?

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

SCons is in experimental due to Debian freeze, this is the only reason behind my choice. There aren't many changes from 0.98.5-1ubuntu1 to 1.1.0-1 (0.98.5 is last beta before 1.0.0 stable release). Changes are huge compared to Hardy version though, there have been adjustments which fixed some FTBFS in Ubuntu, it could be worth having a stable release instead of a pre-beta one for Hardy too.

SCons developers should release 1.2.0 *very* soon, I didn't look at its changes yet though, so I'm not sure if it's worth having it in Jaunty for now.

[Marc Branchaud (marcnarc)]

Indeed, 1.2.0 arrived today.

I would not complain if Jaunty moved to 1.2.0 and that's what got backported (big surprise!).

There are some real differences between 1.2.0 and Jaunty's 1.1.0-1 (which I believe corresponds to SCons's October 1.1.0 release). Looking at SCons's changelog, one change in particular looks like it might effect our builds: "Make the File.{Dir,Entry,File}() methods create their entries relative to the calling File's directory, not the SConscript directory." Admittedly, I haven't tried a SCons beyond the October 1.1.0 release yet, so I'm not 100% positive it'll impact our stuff.

Just thought I'd throw in my opinion as a user and the backport requester...
