After many years break from the package and a vain hope that +development would be continued by someone else, I finally pulled my +acts together this morning and wrapped up a new release of chrpath, +the command line tool to modify the rpath and runpath of already +compiled ELF programs. The update was triggered by the persistence of +Isha Vishnoi at IBM, which needed a new config.guess file to get +support for the ppc64le architecture (powerpc 64-bit Little Endian) he +is working on. I checked the +Debian, +Ubuntu and +Fedora +packages for interesting patches (failed to find the source from +OpenSUSE and Mandriva packages), and found quite a few nice fixes. +These are the release notes:
+ +New in 0.15 released 2013-11-24:
