I'm fine with this in principal but *-*-k*bsd* seems overly broad since it will match anything that begins with 'k' and ends in 'bsd'. Would *-*-k*bsd*-gnu work? Is there a GNU/kNetBSD too? I see some references to GNU/NetBSD but they are pretty out of date. I believe that at one time or another, there have been FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD kernel inclusion projects in the Debian community. It appears that the FreeBSD guys are the most active today, and I understand they intend to be part of the next 'lenny' release of Debian, ergo the interesting in getting things like this fixed. Looking at the porting notes found at http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/porting/PORTING I believe that 'k*bsd*-gnu' should work. Bdale I committed the *-*-k*bsd*-gnu change. |
Created attachment 221 [details] configure patch to enable kFreeBSD build A Debian developer reports that the package fails to build from source on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, and provides a trivial patch to configure that fixes it. I've accepted this patch for the Debian sudo package, assume you'll want to merge it into your tree as well.
