A recent investigation done among all Debian packages showed that samba's config.{sub|guess} files are "quite" outdated (dated 2005: this is not stone age but already 4 years old..:-)) Upstream autotools (http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.guess) is dated 2008-01-23 so we propose using these (will be attached to this bug report), at least starting from 3.4
Created attachment 4083 [details] GNU's config.guess
Created attachment 4084 [details] GNU's config.sub
Hmm, The version given below actually list a different url for obtaining the latest config.guess and config.sub: the git repository. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD (dated 2009-04-27) and http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD (dated 2009-04-17) The logs can be browsed from here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD So I'd rather go to the current HEAD versions. Or are there specific reasons to take the January 2008 versions? Michael
Ok, after confirmation by Luk on irc, I pushed these latest versions to master and v3-4-test.
this will be in 3.4 and following releases. marking bug as fixed.
Apparently, Michael, you updated source3/config.{guess|sub}, but not other copies that lie around in source4/, lib/*, etc. Is there a reason for this or just forgetting to look around for all such copies?

Oops, thanks for the hint - I simply forgot to update the other copies...

If I am not mistaken, jelmer recently updated all the config.{guess|sub} files in the master branch. Should go into 3.5...
Michael, can we close out this one?
Updating component.
Fixed by 6230eb94af2305f479db3b76479a0dc841c3d1d5 in Samba 3.5 and above. Additionally, Samba 4.0 and above now use WAF.
