That's a change in configure.ac adding text to the version number - which it seems some distro packaging tools don't like.

1) The macro for default_dist seems to be focused on fedora - running this on CentOS/Redhat causes an empty response

I'll have a look at that.

2) The configure script (currently) causes the version to be based on Git label - but “-“ isn’t allowed in the version.

3) The script uses the init.d scripts - which won’t work anymore on CentOS 7 / Redhat 7 and I believe on newer Fedora (Not sure on Fedora - haven’t used it for some time)

I think init scripts are still supported by systemd?

Can not supporting a newer system be reason to reject fixes that affect the older, 'supported' ones? (though, the packaging stuff is mostly to aid testing of git - no more).
