Bug 470146 – gnuconfig.eclass refers to obsolete /usr/share/automake-*.*/config.sub in gnuconfig_findnewest()

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roman Žilka 2013-05-17 11:25:06 UTC]

This is in the current gnuconfig.eclass:

=================================================================

gnuconfig_findnewest() {
    local locations="
        /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub
        /usr/share/automake-1.9/config.sub
        /usr/share/automake-1.8/config.sub
        /usr/share/automake-1.7/config.sub
        /usr/share/automake-1.6/config.sub
        /usr/share/automake-1.5/config.sub
        /usr/share/automake-1.4/config.sub
        /usr/share/libtool/config.sub
    "
    grep -s '^timestamp' ${locations} | sort -n -t\' -k2 | tail -n 1 | sed 's,/config.sub:.*$,,'
}

=================================================================

These are old automake versions.

Reproducible: Always

doesn't really matter as they're all symlinks to gnuconfig/

not sure if the prefix guys are affected by this.  should we be checking $EPREFIX/ instead of / ?

Yes in Prefix we use ${EPREFIX} there.  Just synced the new code.  Thanks.

why not commit that to the main tree ?  can't see any reason to not.

[Comment 6 Fabian Groffen 2013-05-23 19:46:43 UTC]

I think by now it should be safe to just do.

if that's not what you want, you should fix it ;)
