Debian Patches

Status for autoconf2.69/2.69-3.1

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
atomic.patch Make autom4te atomically replace its output file. Upstream is not interested in this patch; see Forwarded: URL. Ben Pfaff <pfaffben@debian.org> yes debian 2006-05-25
stricter-versioning.patch Invalidate the Autom4te cache more aggressively. Upstream only invalidates the Autom4te cache if it is older than
auto4mte, but this only works well if the autom4te binary date
reflects the date when it was installed. In debian, the autom4te
binary date is instead the date when it was built, which doesn't
guarantee that caches will be properly invalidated.

Upstream may be interested, but requested some changes that have not
yet been made; see the Forwarded: URL.

avoid-undefined-behavior-for-32bit-off_t.patch Fix undefined behavior for 32-bit off_t. autoconf (2.69-6) unstable; urgency=low
.
* lib/autoconf/specific.m4: Use ((off_t) 1 << 31) << 31 in place of
(off_t) 1 << 62 to avoid undefined behavior when off_t is 32-bit.
Closes: #742780. Thanks to Mathieu Malaterre <malat@debian.org> for
reporting this bug.

AM_PROG_LIBTOOL.patch Make autoreconf recognize AM_PROG_LIBTOOL too .
during the "getting the main packages ready"-campaign for ppc64el I
noticed that dh-autoreconf doesn't work if a package uses
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL but works with AC_PROG_LIBTOOL though both makros
should behave the same (and are both deprecated) according to
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/LT_005fINIT.html
A sample package for this is version 0.4.5+cvs20030824-7 of smpeg (I
will upload an NMU now for that package, because it prevents the build
of kde4libs).
.
The following patch changes this behaviour, and would save quite many
sourceful uploads, so I'd ask you to check the fix and if applicable
upload it soon. That would really be a great help for this / all
future ports of Debian (though of course packages should be fixed to
not use deprecated macros, but that's something else).
