Description David Zeuthen 2007-04-01 22:18:45 UTC

Debian tells me that the config.(guess|sub) files shipped with Fedora's libtool
are outdated and that tarballs created by me (on Fedora) makes lintian (a Debian
package checker) complain about them. Any chance these files can be updated? Thanks!

For the record, I'm using libtool-1.5.22-10.fc7

I just checked the fc7 package (by downloading [1]) and the
config.(guess|sub) files are indeed outdated. You should file a bug
report against the Fedora libtool package so that they ship more
recent versions of these files.

Cheers,
Michael

redhat-rpm-config is to blame here. redhat-rpm-config still ships those ancient
config.{guess,sub} files and copies them into the root of any package that uses
%configure in the spec file.

JCM, how about an update of those files ? Those from the latest automake should
do, you just have to check for any RH specific patches in the old files.

I'll patch libtool.spec in the meantime to avoid %configure

fixed in libtool-1.5.22-11.fc7

Ok. I will update the files. Apologies for the delay.

Jon.
