Release tarball at https://download.samba.org/ tainted

[ruabmbua]

While changing the default configuration of ppp in yocto linux, I noticed, that as soon as I change some configure flags, it results in linker errors. After troubleshooting a bit, I noticed it only fails when building from the release tarball.

It seems like file pppd/pppdconf.h was accidentally included in the release tarball. This results in it being included instead of the one generated by configure / autotools, and some defines like PPP_WITH_PEAP being inconsistent between multiple config headers.

I am currently applying this patch, to resolve the issue (can not upload as attachment so I will just include it here):

Subject: [PATCH] Deleted pppdconf.h which results in inconsistent defines

The file was probably included in the release tarball by accident.

Thanks for noting that.

Forgot to tell you the exact version I tested: I am using the 2.5.0 tarball. Did not check any others.
