Package: cone
Version: 0.79-2
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: no longer builds from source
The patch sendmail_path.diff changes the timestamps of libmail/configure{,.in}
resulting in autoconf's maintainer-mode kicking in and running aclocal and
automake, grabbing the m4 macros for the new libtool and causing ./libtool to
throw a big fuss about mismatched versions.
This has not been an issue in Debian since autoconf and automake are not pulled
into the Debian buildds, but in Ubuntu, they appear to be, as can be seen by the
following build log:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37421099/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-i386.cone_0.79-2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
This issue can be resolved by replacing the sendmail_path.diff patch with an
extra configure argument SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail which should accomplish the
same thing. In addition, the libtool build-dep can be safely removed, since it
is not currently used at build time anyway.
To prevent similar things from happening in the future, it would be good to get
upstream to add AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to their configure.in files. CDBS will then
be able to disable it with --disable-maintainer-mode which it already passes to
the configure script.
The attached patch contains Ubuntu specific changes, but please feel free to
adapt it as you see fit.
