Bug#735637: libifp: use dh-autoreconf instead of autotools-dev to fix FTBFS on ppc64el
Package: libifp
Version: 1.0.0.2-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu trusty ubuntu-patch
Dear Maintainer,
For the ppc64el architecture in Ubuntu, since this package uses libtool, a full
autoreconf is necessary instead of just config.{sub,guess} updates with
autotools-dev. This is because we need new libtool macros for ppc64el.
In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:
* Use dh-autoreconf instead of autotools-dev to fix FTBFS on ppc64el.
Thanks for considering the patch.
Logan Rosen
