4.12 release tarballs are missing the new man/uk subdirectory

[arachsys]

The missing man/uk subdirectory in the tarballs breaks configure completely:

$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a race-free mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
[...]
checking that generated files are newer than configure... done

Although missing from the tarballs, man/uk/Makefile.am is present in the repository at the release tag:

$ curl -sL https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/archive/refs/tags/4.12.tar.gz | tar -t -f - | grep man/uk
shadow-4.12/man/uk/
shadow-4.12/man/uk/Makefile.am
$

Confirmed. I get:

configure.ac:700: error: required file 'man/uk/Makefile.in' not found

BTW I see that #532 didn't add uk to https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/blob/master/man/Makefile.am#L4

Thanks - I'll release 4.12.1 hopefully in a few days with this fix.

Works fine in 4.12.1! Thanks!

fwiw I've also added to my 'release steps' file a note to actually test configure && make && make install from the dist tar.gz.
