Package: link-grammar
Version: 4.7.4-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch pending

Dear maintainer,

I've prepared an NMU for link-grammar (versioned as 4.7.4-2.1) and
uploaded it to DELAYED/7. Please feel free to tell me if I
should delay it longer.

I was primarily fixing 765232 and 765024 (need to update configurey 
for new architectures), but also fixed a couple of other things I 
found whilst looking. I hope that's OK.

The other fixes are:
 * Remove obsolete Dm-Upload-Allowed field which is now complained-about 
by dpkg.

 * Enable the java package on armhf, arm64 and ppc64el, presumably all 
arches that have peeared since this package was last given much attention.
Also removed mention of long-removed 'arm' architecture. I filed a bug with 
separate patch in case you wanted to do somethig different: 788506
 I also fixed the typo from 698587 
 
I responded in 765024 on whythis upload doesn't include a proper dh-autoreconf.
That bug should stay open in case anyone wnats to come back to this. It 
builds OK using the patch in that bug, but I'm not certain that everything is 
correct. I decided it was a bit risky/invasive for an NMU. The ppc64el people
may need that bug fixed - I'm not sure that the simple autotools-dev fix will 
work for that arch.

as stated there I'm happy to upload that version and see what happens if you 
are.
 

Regards.

Wookey
