Hi,
Perhaps an empty file should be placed in CVS then or README file should be updated as this
may not be obvious to someone downloding the tarball ?
Best regards
Anders

Hi Anders,

Ethereal only requires a file named cvsversion.h in the top-level directory.
You can compile Ethereal by creating an empty cvsversion.h file (or by
running make-version.pl or "make cvsversion.h" at least once).

Regards,

Olivier

| Hi,
