Description Dennis Gilmore 2013-03-23 01:02:16 UTC 
Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in 
autoconf 2.69.  libmatchbox appears to use an earlier version of 
autoconf, preventing its being built.  This can be fixed in of three ways (In order of preference):

1. Work with upstream to migrate the package to autoconf 2.69.

2. Rerun autoconf or autoreconf in %prep or %build prior to running 
configure.

3. Apply the patch at http://ausil.fedorapeople.org/aarch64/libmatchbox/libmatchbox-aarch64.patch
which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.

I am orphaning support for libmatchbox since we have moved sandbox to use openbox.  I think we should just remove matchbox from Fedora altogether.

+1. I'm not interested in maintaining it any longer since it is not used on the XO. And it's dead upstream.
