Bug#896127: glew: needs config.guess/sub update for riscv64



Source: glew
Version: 2.0.0-5
Severity: normal
User: debian-riscv@lists.debian.org
Usertags: riscv64

Hi,

We are in the process of bootstrapping a Debian port for the riscv64
architecture (https://wiki.debian.org/RISC-V).

The files config.{guess,sub} included in this package are too old to detect this
system.

Debian Policy §4.3 recommends to update these automatically [1], one of the best
ways to achieve this is to depend on newer versions of debhelper and use
dh-autoreconf.

This package is QA-maintained, anybody who reads this please feel free to work
on it and upload :)

    "You should make sure that the configure utility detects the correct
    architecture specification string (refer to Architecture specification
    strings for details).

    If your package includes the scripts config.sub and config.guess, you should
    arrange for the versions provided by the package autotools-dev be used
    instead (see autotools-dev documentation for details how to achieve
    that). This ensures that these files can be updated distribution-wide at
    build time when introducing new architectures."


Thanks and cheers.
