[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#765218: gnusim8085: run dh-autoreconf to update for new architectures

[Wookey]

Source: gnusim8085
Version: 1.3.7-1
Severity: normal
User: debian-arm at lists.debian.org
Usertag: arm64

This package failed to build on arm64. Here is the buildd log:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gnusim8085&arch=arm64&ver=1.3.7-1&stamp=1409593659


The problem appears to be out of date autoconf files (config.sub and
guess). It is one of many packages which need autoconf updates in
order to build on new architectures (such as arm64, mips64el, ppc64el
and or1k). 'Autoreconf'ing is the recommended way to deal with this
problem in Debian, as it works now and in the future, and ensures
packages remain buildable from source. This page (
https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf ) contains information on this
issue, and details for maintainers on how to update your packages:

The arm64 and ppc64el porter teams are working hard to get these new
architectures ready for jessie, and time is short, so do please try to
fix this issue promptly. Unless the autofoo in the package is way out
of date, it's often trivial to do.

Please ignore/close this message if it is in error, and accept my
apologies for the noise. It may have already been fixed, or a new
upload done since the list was generated.  Also the automated checks
for characteristic log messages can sometimes produce false
positives, despite our best efforts.
