Package: autotools-dev Version: 20080123.1 Severity: normal Usertags: 3.0-quilt-by-default
In /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz you recommend: | Just add: | -test -r /usr/share/misc/config.sub && \ | cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.sub config.sub | -test -r /usr/share/misc/config.guess && \ | cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.guess config.guess | to the clean target of debian/rules. However this is not a good advice because it will clutter the .diff.gz with changes to those files and we don't care about those changes since the files will be replaced at next build anyway. The recommended procedure is to remove config.sub and config.guess in the clean target and to copy the files (like above) just before the "./configure" call. Note that the changes to config.guess/sub stored in the .diff.gz will create problems for the migration[1] to the new source package format 3.0 (quilt) because those changes will end up in a patch in debian/patches/ and those patches are applied _after_ the clean rule. And since the clean rules changes the files, the new patch won't apply and the build process will fail.
