Re: [Ccaudio-devel] address@hidden: Bug#120770: libccaudio_0.5.0-1(unstable/hppa): config.{guess,sub} update needed]

[David Sugar]

This is nice to have a Debian maintainer for GNU ccAudio.  As it 
happens, the newest release of ccAudio now depends on GNU Common C++ 
also being installed, so it would make sense to have someone maintain a 
deb for this as well now.  I think Bradley Kuhn had asked about this. 
Actually I would be happy having all of my packages maintained in 
Debian by someone, because it is hard to keep up with packaging as well 
as everything else, and I do appreciate any help I can get.

One way to quicky update the config.xxx scripts and the other parts of 
the configure script is to delete the old config.xxx and ltxxx from 
libtools in the config directory and simply run the "./reconfig" command 
I provide with each of my packages.  This recopies from the local host 
and rebuilds configure with the local automake/autoconf macros.
