Hi Erik,
In Ubuntu, we've recently patched libsamplerate to use dh-autoreconf at
build time. From time to time, a new port will require changes to the files
generated by autotools that are bundled in the upstream sources; usually
this is just config.sub/config.guess, but in the case of the recent Linux
ppc64el port, changes to ltmain.sh from libtool were also required.
Calling dh-autoreconf on each build ensures that the package remains
buildable across future ports, without the need for intrusive updates to the
source via porter NMUs.
I know you've just updated libsamplerate to use autotools-dev for
config.{sub,guess} refreshing, but it would be great if you could include
this patch instead to more completely address the needs of new ports as they
happen.
Thanks for considering the patch.
