tags 727501 + patch tags 727501 + pending thanks Dear maintainer,
This bug has been pending for some time, and needs fixing for new ports, including arm64 which is building now: (http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/architecture.php?a=arm64&suite=sid). So I've prepared an NMU for rxvt (versioned as 1:2.7.10-5.1) and uploaded it to DELAYED/7. Please feel free to tell me if I should delay it longer. Discussion on debian-devel revealed consensus that the right way to ensure successful builds on all new architectures was to autoreconf packages, so that method has been used to fix this bug. This works for all arches, even those that need libtool changes, and will continue to work into the future without an update as each new arch comes along. (Discussion at https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/04/msg00383.html, thread starting at https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/04/msg00342.html For this package dh_autoreconf-ing is a bit more intrusive than normal because autoreconf needs to be run in a subdir, but the configure script is copied out and run from the top level. Also the package only uses autoconf so an autoreconf does not automatically update config.{sub,guess} - that has to be done explicitly. Attached is a simpler alternate patch to just update config.{sub,guess}, which is neater but is a less-technically complete solution (see above thread). You could use this one instead if you prefer. Regards.
