Indeed, running e.g. autoreconf -if runs also the prep-gsissh which
applies the patches.
@mattias: do you have an idea about this? What is the status of the
debian packaging for gsi-openssh? I think it would be good if we could
at least ourselves provide (binary) debs.

@frank: in our announcement
https://github.com/gridcf/gct/releases/tag/v6.2.20190226 we state that
we have precompiled packages for Debian unstable, that's not true for
gsi-openssh.

In any case the wording "pre-compiled packages" is probably a bit
misleading. I'd probably just say "packages", since the src RPMs and
debians are also available in those places.

    Cheers,
    Mischa
