A new git repository

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/daemon/distsrv/hail.git

was created, preserving the full histories of cld.git and chunkd.git. 
The existing cld.git and chunkd.git repositories have been left 
untouched, for now.  I also have not yet updated tabled.git for this new 
work, though it should be an easy matter of linking against libhail 
rather than other libs.

This new repository creates hail-$VERSION.tar.gz tarballs via "make 
distcheck", producing libhail, cld and chunkd binaries.

libhail is a single shared library binary, linking together cldc, ncld, 
libtimer, and chunkdc modules.  In other words, libhail at present is a 
simplistic combination of cld/lib and chunkd/lib.

The RPM package specfile has been updated (pkg/hail.spec) to generate 
the following complement of packages on Fedora:

rpmlint still issues several warnings about hail-cld and hail-chunkd 
packages.  That must be fixed before this package suite rename can be 
submitted to Fedora (pkg renames must be submitted as new packages, and 
go through the pkg review process all over again).

To produce hail*.rpm packages on Fedora, I would do something like this:

1) set up rpm build directories (== $RBD in this example)
2) git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/daemon/distsrv/hail.git
3) cd hail
4) ./autogen.sh
5) ./autogen.sh
6) ./configure
7) make -s dist
8) cp *.tar.gz pkg/*.init pkg/*.sysconf $RBD/SOURCES
9) cp pkg/hail.spec $RBD/SPECS
10) cd $RBD
11) rpmbuild -ba SPECS/hail.spec


As mentioned above, the {cld,chunkd}.git repositories have been left 
untouched, so if something goes wildly wrong with this scheme, we can 
easily backtrack.

Comments welcome.
