           Summary: Missing instructions for building from CVS
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.3p2
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://openssh.org/portable.html
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: pepper at rockefeller.edu


The page on Portable OpenSSH provides instructions for fetching the
source from CVS via SSH, and links to the INSTALL file.

ftp://ftp.ca.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/INSTALL

Unfortunately, the INSTALL file's instructions (to start with
./configure) are insufficient. My HEAD checkout includes configure.ac
but not configure. I guess this is for autoconf/automake, but this
should be documented. Today "autoconf" created a usable configure, but
last week it was failing. Is "autoconf" always intended to work, and be
the only step between CVS checkouts and the INSTALL procedure?
