Bug#793383: spring: gccxml reached end-of-life, successor castxml now available

[Markus Koschany]

Package: spring
Version: 100.0+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

Quote from Steve M. Robbins e-mail:

"gccxml does not support GCC 5.  Moreover, upstream development has
stopped so there is no prospect that it ever will.

Fortunately, they have released a successor, castxml, that should
generate gccxml-compatible output and be GCC 5 compatible. Castxml is
now in Debian Sid so you may want to adjust your package.

I believe you can make the replacement:

    gccxml input_file.cc -fxml=output_file.xml
to  castxml --castxml-gccxml input_file.cc -o output_file.xml
"

I will try to replace the build-dependency on gccxml with castxml.

Markus
