Re: CVE-2016-8685 in potrace

Hi Hugo

Looks good to me.

The mistake regarding CFILES is quite understandable considering that it just had very common things in it. Very easy to miss that.

Best regards

Hi,

I have prepared the potrace update fixing CVE-2016-8685 and would like
to upload it. However, I had to modify debian/rules slightly more than
excepted because in its current state, the CFLAGS variable defined by
debian/rules isn't passed properly to the configure script. Actually
CFLAGS is neither exported, nor passed to ./configure as argument...

I don't understand that such a mistake is present in this rules file.

Could somebody take a look at the debdiff and confirm me that these
changes to debian/rules are pertinent ?

Cheers,

 Hugo
