Bug#731206: Please update config.{sub,guess} automatically using autotools-dev

[Adam Conrad]

Package: coinutils
Version: 2.9.10-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu trusty ubuntu-patch



In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Use dh_autotools-dev to update config.{sub,guess} for new ports.

The patch itself should be self-explanatory.  This is needed currently
for arm64, but also future-proofs your package against other new ports
as they come along.

Thanks for this patch; it will be included in the next upload. I am aware
that this affects the whole coinor suite.
