- Subject: [foobar package] GNU config issues with your program
-
- Bar,
-
- I have recently updated the config.sub and config.guess (aka GNU config) files
- in the Debian packaging of foobar. The ones you include are too old, and cause
- build failures in many architetures.
-
- Unfortunately, by design, these two files must be kept up-to-date. In Debian we
- have a maintainer and a package tracking the GNU config CVS, as well as some
- automated scripts to update packages from master copies; However, since most
- people are not aware of the problem with old GNU config files, I thought I
- should notify you of the issue, just in case.
-
- Up-to-date GNU config files are available through anonymous CVS ssh access.
- Instructions on how to use such a beast are available at:
- http://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=config

- Your downstream Debian maintainer,
