Please unblock package wfmath
The patch will apply a fix for 760192 targetting jessie.
I discussed the issue already today morninn on IRC and there was no negative feedback.
Would be great if you would consider the unblock.
(Note: This is the "non intrusive" approach -- admitted a little bit hackish --
if you prefer to run autoreconf --force --install for all archs, please let me
know.
Reasoning for my unblock request
- This patch will enable the previously FTBFS archs arm64 and ppc64el
- Those two arcs were never built
- The patch is crafted that the behaviour of the other archs is not
changed.
- However, that reduce the patch to hack-level: After the freeze the fix
from the BTS should be applied: calling autoreconf --force --install for
all archs or just letting dh_autoreconf doing its job.
(This is the reason why I did not close the bug)
Further proceeding:
After I get the OK from you, I will NMU the package and upload it to DELAYED/0.
Thanks!
