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.
