Author PATCH: autoconf not run for slony-1.1.0,
Len Walter

G'day,

the attached patch is for the configure script. It seems like autoconf
was not re-run after PACKAGE_VERSION was changed for the slony-1.1.0
release, so make rpm failed because it was looking for the wrong
source tarball.

I've used the attached ./configure to make rpms built against postgres
7.4.8, the version included with RHEL 4

This is my first patch to an OSS project - hope I've got the format right!

We need to have a better resolution for this in the future; the 1.1
releases (beta and RC as well) were to some degree "plagued" with this
problem.

There's some sort of near-recursive problem here, where, at present, we
choose between:

1. Needing to remember to run autoconf and check in changes *before*
tagging, which is "brain-o"-vulnerable, or

2. Needing to run autoconf before trying to use a newly-tagged build.

It seems to me that PACKAGE_VERSION shouldn't need to be so embedded in
autoconf.

The tag surely should be able to be picked up irrespective of doing an
autoconf run...

so that would make the release process more redhat specific? i think
that's bad policy.
