Dear Maintainer,

codeblocks uses Squirrel [1] as a scripting language. A copy of it is
included in codeblocks' source code, and it is compiled and linked
into some executable within the codeblocks package.

The problem is that by now, Squirrel is also available as a separate
package in Debian (see the squirrel3 source package). This means that
the embedded copy is now redundant.

Please add a patch to compile and link codeblocks against the Squirrel
package to avoid this kind of redundancy for future releases.

Regards,
Fabian Wolff

Hi Fabian,

They are actually using an old (2.2.5, compared to 3.1 in Debian)
version of Squirrel.

Any help in the patching part would be welcome (maybe even appreciated
upstream).

Regards

David
