Hi, Pete
The "setup.sh" exists and is called "bootstrap.sh" :-)
It's documented in README.Maintainer. Maybe I should have emphasized it more.
For autotools packages this script is usually called "autogen.sh", sometimes
bootstrap.sh. I chose bootstrap.
To produce a tested and bootstrapped tarball from a checked out CVS, you just
do:
------------------
bootstrap.sh
configure (with whatever options)
make distcheck
------------------
You can also just use "make dist" instead of "make distcheck", if you are sure
that the thing builds ok. This will just trigger packaging of the tarball.
Cheers,
Derek
