[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#724922: geda-gaf: FTBFS: dh_auto_test fork bombs (patch)

[Adam Conrad]

Package: geda-gaf
Version: 1:1.8.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #724922
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu trusty ubuntu-patch


In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Switch to dh_autoreconf to update libtool macros for new ports.
  * Re-enable tests on all arches; autoreconf fixes the fork bomb.

So, I actually did this to add support for ppc64el but, as a happy
accident, I noticed that autoreconfing fixes whatever braindamage
the upstream makefiles had that was causing the fork bomb recursion
madness.  So, here's a twofer, extra arch support and an FTBFS fix.

And, before you ask, yes, you can replace autotools-dev with reconf
in this case, as automake-using projects update config.{sub,guess}
on autoreconf, so you can consider it a superset in those cases.
