Re: [Freeipmi-devel] 2/18 change - "configure.ac: fix of automake init"

[Albert Chu]

It should work with automake 1.9, that's what I have.

I suppose I can just do ustar internally in our local repo.  In the
savannah repo we are close to 99 chars, but the naming of the package
keeps it at about 92-93 chars, while the package naming I do internally
sometimes pushes it above 99.
