Hi Tim,

I get the message
packaging/rpm/Makefile.am:1: required directory packaging/rpm/SPECS does 
not exist
from autogen.sh.

I think the problem is the following:
Gerald created a new directory packaging/rpm/SPECS in CVS.
If you are updating you working copy with "cvs update" or
"cvs update -P" only, the new directory won't be created.
You need to call "cvs update" with the "-d" option and it will
get the SPECS directory and the files therein.

Maybe a hint could be added in
http://www.ethereal.com/development.html#anoncvs
about this?
