#17 2.3 tarball broken

[David Seifert]

I am packaging pam_ssh for Gentoo and noticed that the tarball has likely been geenrated incorrectly:

make -j4 
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/sys-auth/pam_ssh-2.3/work/pam_ssh-2.3/missing aclocal-1.15 
/var/tmp/portage/sys-auth/pam_ssh-2.3/work/pam_ssh-2.3/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.15: command not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.15' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>
make: *** [Makefile:469: aclocal.m4] Error 127

This sounds like you generated the tarball from a git checkout, which generally cannot work, as the timestamps are off and will trigger an Automake rebuild. Tarballs should be generated with make dist or better, make distcheck, which yields correct timestamps. Would it be possible for you to rebuild the 2.3 tarball so we don't have to re-bootstrap the sources?

new tarball uploaded created via make dist.
My own builds do autoreconf in any case so I didn't see an error.
