[Swig-devel] Scilab branch - Was: GSoC: Creating svn branches for students?

[William S F. <ws...@fu...>]

For all the other GSoC branches, I have been updating the old branches 
to nearly the trunk HEAD - actually to swig-2.0.6 (rev 13025 on trunk). 
As you have been merging trunk quite often to gsoc2009-sploving, could 
you please do one final merge from trunk to this branch. Then can you 
create a branch from the HEAD of gsoc2009-sploving and call it 
gsoc2012-scilab ready for Wolfgang to start GSoC 2012.

Thanks
William
