Package: autotools-dev Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The attached patch (that unfortunately was reject upstream) checks a number of paths for newer versions and runs the newest one. The reason for the rejection is not documented publicly, but was basically "It adds more complexity than I would like." with existing workarounds suggested as a replacement.
This patch is useful for distributions like Debian that add new architectures and then have to update config.sub and config.guess in every single package that uses automake or have to workaround the problem by adding code to each package to copy in the latest versions of these scripts from another package containing the latest version of the scripts (autotools-dev in Debian). -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise

Subject: [PATCH] Check a number of paths for newer versions and run the
newest one.
This patch is useful for distributions like Debian that add new architectures
and then have to update config.sub and config.guess in every single package
that uses automake or have to workaround the problem by adding code to each
package to copy in the latest versions of these scripts from another package
containing the latest version of the scripts (autotools-dev in Debian).
