Files in a single new distro/ dir allow apkg to build BIRD packages for
various distros directly from upstream sources as well as from upstream
archives.
Please see distro/README.md for more detail as well as apkg docs:
https://apkg.rtfd.io
I've used these files to build bird-2.0.8 on all currently supported
releases of following distros:
* Debian
* Ubuntu
* Fedora
* CentOS
* openSUSE
Please note that latest apkg with accumulated fixes for bird is needed:

BIRD uses hacked LinuxDocTools for building documentation, keeping some
parts locally and using remaining parts from system-installed one. This
setup breaks when LinuxDocTools makes some internal changes and is hard
to keep consistent.
Just include full LinuxDocTools code (both hacked and unmodified parts)
to avoid consistency issues. Note that we still need some binaries from
LinuxDocTools, so it still needs to be installed to build documentation.
Updated to version 63b4ce2e8c28aee6a32133e400436e4ca885215a
from git://git.savannah.gnu.org/config.git
Previous version was 93b5037172b15ad28952481933517f1ba93d125b
Also removed the lib-dir merging with sysdep. Updated #include's
accordingly.
Fixed make doc on recent Debian together with moving generated doc into
objdir.
Moved Makefile.in into root dir
Retired all.o and birdlib.a
Linking the final binaries directly from all the .o files.
Restructure client/ subdir. Add two different flavors of client.
The full featured birdc client code is in client/birdc/.
The new light client birtcl is in client/birdcl/.
Common sources of both clients are directly in client/.
Rework on-line auto-completion in client/command.c to conditionally turn off
ncurses-specific code.
Add lightweight client without libreadline and ncurses dependencies - birdcl.
The birdcl lacks support of history, on-line auto-completion and there
are different implementations of "more" functionality and help on '?' press.
New client operates in canonical terminal mode (apart from "more" display)
and therefore all commands have to be executed by a return key including help
commands (called by '?' character in the end of the line).
Apart from these limitations the interaction style should be the same as
for the full client - birdc.
Build of birdcl is always on (independent on --enable-client parameter).
