Bug#302484: libtool: Is any work in progress?
Hello.
I would like to ask if anybody is working on the libtool package.
The current libtool package is in horrible state. The upstream source is
actively maintained, the Debian package is different in very misterious ways.
Some unknown patches, some strage hacks done with `sed'.
I desperately need the fix to bug#221873. I've found the latest snapshot for
2,1a version works correctly: the autoconf does not generate the checks for
C++ compiler.
Just now I'm working with my libtool compiled by hand but I would like to see
the real Debian support.
I'd like to see the libtool2.1 or just libtool2 package in the distribution,
at least in experimental archive. The libtool is critical if my application
have to be really portable, not just Debian-specific. The current libtool can
not generate correct acinclude.m4.
