Doing make dist from in the git repo to get a tarball almost always results in

+1 on keeping autotool files
Does the current cmake files allow for make dist?
There is no processing from VCS to tarballs like autoreconf when cmake
is used, so git-archive should be enough.

I haven't noticed
the problems you are experiencing with respect to files not
showing up,
but it is a good idea to enable this feature nevertheless.
Thanks Tim!
I see that I was close but still have much to learn. :)
The package now builds. I'll report in the bugzilla my testing
results.
BTW, I think this is an example of why we should keep the automake
files in the GIT tree even after converting to cmake, at least for
a few more Trinity releases. Those files provide us a historical
record. In this case, I was able to study the automake files to
offer a feeble attempt at a patch. The historical automake files
provided me clues that the missing FAM support might be part of the
original bug. So let's keep those files for a while. :)
