Hi,

in the automake tarballs, the 'bootstrap' script is missing, but it 
would be needed when modifying any of the automake files in a tarball. 
In other words, when used in an rpm build script:

Source: automake-1.11.tar.bz2
Patch1: foobar.diff modifying m4/init.m4

Not running bootstrap after applying Patch1 causes configure/make to fail:

+ ./configure
[...]
+ make
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && 
perllibdir="/usr/src/packages/BUILD/automake-1.11/lib:./lib" 
"/usr/src/packages/BUILD/automake-1.11/aclocal" --acdir=m4 -I m4
/bin/sh: /usr/src/packages/BUILD/automake-1.11/aclocal: No such file or 
directory
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.CEw4fJ (%build)

Please provide the bootstrap script in the next release tarballs instead
of just the git tree.

Thanks,
Jan
