Package: smpeg
Version: 0.4.5+cvs20030824-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-...@lists.debian.org
Usertag: arm64


This package does not build on the new arm64 architecture (which has
just been added to the main archive). This is because it's autoconf
config.sub/guess files are too old.

This package is one of hundreds which need autoconf updates in order
to build on new architectures such as arm64, mips64el, ppc64el and
or1k. Reasons why reautoconfing is the recommended was to deal with
the general case of this problem, as well as details for maintainers
are covered in https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf

As you can see, a plain reautoconf works fine on this package so long
as the flavour is given as 'foreign' (meaning that it is not a GNU
project and thus does not have to have a NEWS file, etc), and is a
clean and simple patch, so I've prepared an NMU and uploaded it to
DELAYED/7. Please feel free to tell me if I should delay it longer.

This package blocks approx 200 builds (see
https://people.debian.org/~wookey/bootstrap/blockerlist) so I would
like to upload it faster than 7 days if that's OK with you?
