Package: swig Version: 3.0.8-0ubuntu3 Severity: wishlist At the moment /usr/bin/ccache-swig is installed in the same package as /usr/bin/swig. This package however does not provide a symlink in /usr/lib/ccache, as is the case for gcc and other compilers. The user must therefore either create their own symlink somewhere, or change the name of the SWIG binary used from "swig" to "ccache-swig swig", which may be be easy to do if one is building a package owned by someone else.
It would be useful if a separate ccache-swig binary package could be provided, containing /usr/bin/ccache-swig /usr/lib/ccache/swig -> ../bin/ccache-swig Anyone who wants to use ccache-swig could then simply install this package, and append /usr/lib/ccache to their PATH, as one does when using ccache with gcc, etc. Cheers, Karl -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers xenial-updates APT policy: (500, 'xenial-updates'), (500, 'xenial-security'), (500, 'xenial'), (100, 'xenial-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-64-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages swig depends on: ii swig3.0 3.0.8-0ubuntu3 swig recommends no packages.
