Re: [log4cxx] Release process releated questions

Hi,

Sorry for being late for the party (I was just checking if there is a
new release for liblog4cxx, which I would really apprecicate when I
came about this thread)

As the Debian maintainer for liblog4cxx: In Debian we usually do not use
the packaged configure; The first thing I do is to run autoreconf (or autogen.sh).

Reason, especially when we add new architectures, configue script tend to be quite
outdated so it is safe to reconfigure.

I'd really appreaciate if there would be a new liblog4cxx release ready for the
Debian Buster release cycle :) Many thanks for all your work!
