Bug#357330: Please update config.*
Package: rsplib
Version: 1.0.0-2
Severity: wishlist
The config.* files your packages uses to determine the host system are
quite old. For example, it doesn't recognize mips64. While this is
not a problem right now since we don't have such a Debian port, your
config.* files are also too old to recognize a number of other systems
- ports people are currently working on, such as powerpc64 and
GNU/k*BSD. Therefore, please update your config.* files. The
autotools-dev contains good information how to do that.
