Package: gri
Version: 2.12.10-6
Severity: wishlist
The config.* files your packages uses to determine the host system are
quite old. For example, it doesn't recognize mips64. While this is
not a problem right now since we don't have such a Debian port, your
config.* files are also too old to recognize a number of other systems
- ports people are currently working on, such as powerpc64 and
GNU/k*BSD. Therefore, please update your config.* files. The
autotools-dev contains good information how to do that.
I realize that you claim to have done this recently:
gri (2.12.9-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Bug fix: "gri(GNU/k*BSD): FTBFS: out of date config.sub/config.guess",
thanks to Petr Salinger (Closes: #342414).
However, the date below clearly indicated that config.* is not very
new, so I guess your change got lost in 2.12.10. Pleasae ask upstream
to upgrade config.* too.
