Debian 12 updated .deb packages
J-Pilot cannot be installed on Debian 12 via the packagecloud.io repository
referenced in the README — the repo is configured but contains no packages
for Debian 12 (Bookworm).
This PR adds two documentation files to the docs/ directory:
BUILDING_ON_DEBIAN12.md — complete build instructions for Debian 12,
including two patches required to fix configure.ac incompatibilities with
autoconf 2.71+. Pre-built .deb packages built using this process are
available at: https://github.com/ThaGuMath/jpilot/releases/tag/v2.0.2-debian12
UPSTREAM_ADVISORY_CONFIGURE_AC.md — a technical explanation of the two
configure.ac bugs (missing AC_BLUEZ macro and broken nested popt detection),
the minimal fixes applied, and recommendations for a proper upstream fix.
Tested on Debian 12 (Bookworm) x86_64 using a clean Docker container.
