Hi, Does the lack of replies to the patch mean that it's not considered, or it will be queued for a later date when gathering changes for the next release?
For a bit of background information about the patch, this is what I replied when somebody in private asked me about some aspects of the patch, in particular why it was including changes for tools/files which are regarded as obsolete. ----------- We're creating a port for this architecture in Debian (more than 6 thousand packages already availabe), and imake is shipped as part of the package "xutils-dev" [1]. We do not know (and it's in fact impossible to discard) if somebody in the wide world is using the imake software or not through Debian, Ubuntu or other derivatives. It seems to be used at least by cernlib, according to the description [2]. I started creating the patch for only linux.cf back in march, IIRC. But when I decided to submit upstream, I looked at what had happened with the new architecture of Arm64 (added in 2013), and I guessed that if support in all files was added that so recently, it would be desired or even that you requested me to do that for this architecture. But I can remove that if you prefer. rasmol, vnc4, isdnutils, xcal, wnn6, xaw3d and a few others definitely need linux.cf to get compiled; I don't know if we will need the rest yet. [1] https://packages.debian.org/sid/xutils-dev [2] https://packages.debian.org/sid/cernlib-base-dev : "Also included are a contributed set of Autoconf macros to test for CERNLIB libraries, and a set of Imake macros to allow CERNLIB modules to be built out-of-tree."
