Hello, i am taking over the orphaned xinetd, and i am working here: https://github.com/ltworf/xinetd-debian the current package has a patch that basically is a replacement of the configure script. The patch is extremely complicated and i guess not really meant for human eyes. I must premise that on my architecture xinetd compiles fine without that patch, but someone on #debian-it suggested that it might be necessary for other architectures. What i was trying to do is to use dh_autoreconf and have the configure script regenerated automatically instead of including a patch i can't check. But the autoreconf command fails. I've tried multiple versions and it always fails giving a long list of warnings about missing template and then > autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoheader failed with exit status: 1 The original maintainer of xinetd replied after a long delay to my request and pointed me here, so i have absolutely no clue of what he did to re-generate the configure script. At this point i would think of making an experimental upload just to see if it builds on every arch without that patch. If someone is more expert on autotools and can see why autoreconf actually fails would be the ideal solution. Suggestions anyone? Bye -- Salvo Tomaselli
