How to handle the [tar-ustar] option in configure.ac? I had to remove it in my setup. Regards, Andreas

You probably need to upgrade to automake 1.9.6. When I was packaging 1.4 the other night, I suddenly realised that whoever added the slony docs ( :-p ), forgot to add them to makefile.am, so they weren't included in the tarball. Having added them to the makefile, I rebuilt the tarball only to get errors from tar about three of the slony docs having too-long filenames, and find that the tarball itself way 12MB instead of the normal 6!! The tar-ustar option makes tar work in a mode in which 255 character names are supported instead of the default 99. A one off upgrade to automake on the /older/ developer systems seemed far less pain than manually renaming the slony docs forever more. Regards, Dave

Did that, automake works now, but Makefile will have a missing separator in line 377. automake-1.9 will claim that *.m4 is created by aclocal-1.4, but aclocal-1.9 will have throw warnings and automake-1.9 will fail then. If 1.9 is needed, it should be called explicitely in bootstrap, no? Current status: can't build on linux. automake/aclocal are 1.9.6 Regards, Andreas

Eh? Do you have both installed in different locations or something? This works perfectly for me on Slack 10, FC4 and OSX Panther - Florian has been using it on Tiger as well I believe. Regards, Dave.

Do you have both installed in different locations or something? No, /usr/bin. All versions are present, but ./bootstrap relies on aclocal/autoconf to point to the right versions. currently, aclocal-1.4 will run (without problem), but automake-1.9 will claim aclocal version and configure isn't created. aclocal-1.9 won't run, many errors.

Is this OK now (following an svn update)? Regards, Dave

I get quite some warnings from aclocal, but after rm -r config* ac*;svn update I'm workable again. Regards, Andreas

Great. See, that was a lot less painful than renaming Slony docs every time we update :-) /D
