I have seen your post on debian-release about this new experimental
version. I have tested it on GNU/kFreeBSD, but it fails to build from
source due to outdated libtool. The solution is to update libtool files
and regenerate configure. To reduce the size of the patch, I have only kept the necessary changes to support GNU/kFreeBSD. You will find
attached a patch to support this system.


Very good, thank you, nice patch - obviously other people can understand
this patch system, too.  Just the patch to debian/rules was unnecessary,
because this file is generated from debian/rules.in where no version is
hardcoded.

Oops, actually, I used debdiff to make the patch between you version and my version (the +kbsd one), and I forget to remove autogenerated file.


Could you please include it in the next upload? BTW, it would also be
nice to ask upstream to update the libtool stuff.


I'll do that.  Are these names for kfreebsd Debian-specific, or is it
from upstream libtool/whoever?
The name GNU/kFreeBSD means GNU userland with the kernel of FreeBSD. Currently only Debian has such a system. The name of the system has been normalized in the autotools/libtool stuff as kfreebsd-gnu. In Debian the architecture name is kfreebsd-i386 as only i386 is currently supported.

The support for kfreebsd-gnu has been added in libtool CVS on 2003-08-30, so you could tell the upstream that any later version is ok.

Bye,
Aurelien
