[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#758255: alsa-oss: FTBFS on ppc64el, Please switch to dh-autoreconf to update libtool macros

[Artur Rona]

Package: src:alsa-oss
Version: 1.0.28-1
Tags: patch
Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch utopic

The package fails to build on ppc64el with autotools_dev. Switching to 
autoreconf fixes that problem. Here is buildlog:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/buildd/alsa-oss-1.0.28'

In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:

     * debian/control, debian/rules:
       - Switch to dh-autoreconf to update libtool macros for ppc64el.

Because this is an automake-using package, dh-autoreconf can be viewed
as a superset of dh-autotools-dev, in that it still updates config.*
but also updates libtool and configure.  Please apply this patch, to
make life easier for new ports.

We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
