Status of EMBOSS [Was: Bug#762673: emboss: FTBFS on hurd-i386]
Hi,
in the bug report below it is claimed that upstream is not very active
lately. I also somehow assumed a new version in summer. Any news about
this? If a new version is at horizont in the next two weeks we might
have a chance to upload it to Jessie. Otherwise I would simply fix the
bug below and update the packaging a bit to have it properly clean in
Jessie with the current version.
Kind regards
Andreas.

Hi,
Currently emboss fails to build from source due to usage of
PATH_MAX, which is not defined on GNU/Hurd. Only one file needs a
modification, see the attached path. This patch assumes getcwd(NULL,0)
works. Depending on for which systems this software is aimed at, a
configure.ac (.in here) check can be added. However, it seems that
upstream is not very active lately. This patch should work at least for
Debian supported OSes (libc4, libc5, glibc).
Thanks!
