The Debian package applies two patches by @twolife:
So we better have the fixes upstream and them not having to apply any patch.
The first patch, I totally rewrote it to be much more generic.
The second patch, I simply added the initialization of
*ptonullptrto the original patch.I reworded the commit messages in better ways.
For knowledge, the need for those patches were triggered by Debian Hurd… We don't support that, but the actual patches are generic clean-up and improvements that are always good to have. Especially it removes one
ifdeffor FreeBSD and makes the code use a more modern version ofrealpath().So in the end the code is in better shape and even has less system-specific branches: more portable with less branches.
