 Hi Debian game team,
 
 Any feedback in the following patch?
 
 As we are bootstrapping ppc64el officially, and this bug will soon block the
 progress of the bootstrap.
 
 Let me know if you are busy guys, and someone can work on a NMU.
 

Hi Breno,

both uploaders of freealut seem to be inactive. If this bug becomes a
blocker for bootstrapping ppc64el, please feel free to do a NMU. The
changes should be small anyway.

Cheers,

Markus

Bug#733473: freealut: use dh-autoreconf instead of autotools-dev to also fix FTBFS on ppc64el

Package: freealut
Version: 1.1.0-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu trusty ubuntu-patch

Dear Maintainer,

For the ppc64el architecture in Ubuntu, since this package uses libtool, a full
autoreconf is necessary instead of just config.{sub,guess} updates with
autotools-dev. This is because we need new libtool macros for ppc64el.

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

  * Use dh-autoreconf instead of autotools-dev to fix FTBFS on ppc64el.

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan Rosen
