Thanks, give me a sec to fix it.

[Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-08-20 02:09:46 UTC]

Fixed. Maybe the older 5.4.2 patch should finally go upstream.

[Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-08-20 02:10:49 UTC]

I have gone for a simple fix in the configure script instead of going through configure.d/autotools.

[Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2012-08-20 02:11:24 UTC]

Uhm I'll fix it in a different way, patching configure doesn't look like a reliable solution and I want upstreamable patches.

[Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-08-20 02:18:20 UTC]

Well, now you're going to force everyone to run autotools.

[Comment 6 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2012-08-20 02:19:04 UTC]

Yes but it won't be the only fix for which autotools will be needed at this point.

[Comment 7 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-08-20 02:19:32 UTC]

Also, the older upstreamable patch never made it, as I explained earlier.

I have it, I have it.

I'm just fixing one more issue (there are still packages needing the stupid ucd-compat), then preparing a tarball with the changes instead of using FILESDIR or sed.

[Comment 11 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2012-08-20 03:47:26 UTC]

Okay this is fixed with the patch to configure.in now. The package does not require automake (so it's quick to rebuild autoconf), and it was already depending on autoconf, so it's not even additional dependencies.
