Package: freeipmi Version: 1.4.11-1.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-ubuntu zesty ubuntu-patch
Hi folks, In Ubuntu, we have applied a patch to freeipmi to use dh_autoreconf instead of dh_autotools-dev. At one time, this was needed in order to let the freeipmi package build on ppc64el. Since I see that freeipmi is built on ppc64el in Debian unstable now, it's possible that this patch is not currently needed; nevertheless, dh_autoreconf is the best practice for updating autotools output at package build time, and will be better future-proofed for other ports. Please consider applying the attached patch. An alternative approach would be to update to debhelper compat level 10, where I believe dh_autoreconf is run automatically. This of course impacts backporting of your package, which may or may not be acceptable to you. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
