CVS ignores share and share/LaTeX

[James R. V. Z. <jr...@co...>]

I see that Thimo Neubauer has orphaned the Debian package of gnuplot
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=357753).  I am
thinking about taking over as maintainer, and am trying to get my copy
of the sources up to date.  However, my builds are failing during
configuration like this:

  ...
  config.status: creating lisp/Makefile
  config.status: creating m4/Makefile
  config.status: creating man/Makefile
  config.status: error: cannot find input file: share/Makefile.in
  
I don't have a directory share, let alone a file share/Makefile.in.
And "cvs update" does not download it.

I can browse the cvs repository and see share, share/LaTeX, and
several files.  However there is also a file .cvsignore, which
explains why "cvs update" does not download it.

Makefile.am still mentions the share directory, and configure.in
lists share/Makefile and share/LaTeX/Makefile as output files.  For
now, I am deleting those entries.  What is the right fix here?
