difficulty trying to build target dist with today's bison sources

[Juan Manuel Guerrero]

I do not know if this is of any importance. I have tried to compile today's
bison sources on my linux system using the following tools:

automake (GNU automake) 1.9a
Written by Tom Tromey <address@hidden>
       and Alexandre Duret-Lutz <address@hidden>.

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59c
Written by David J. MacKenzie and Akim Demaille.


and the target dist fails with the following error message:

NEWS not updated; not releasing
make: *** [distdir] Fehler 1

I have not tried to fix this. I have also not tried to compile with stock
automake and autoconf tools.

Regards,
