Here is a uuencoded, compressed tar file. The only file I've
changed is Makefile - I've included the full file rather than diffs.
There are some new files as well:
xntp shell script that starts up ntp during boot up
(the packaging stuff creates links to it so it comes
up at run level 2). As with all svr4 start/stop
scripts, it takes one parameter which is either
start or stop. It assumes that ntp.conf is in
/etc/inet/ntp.conf (where it should be on svr4
machines).
prototype describes the file contents of the package.
You might like to review its contents to
see whether you want to include any other
files or remove some. NB I've made the man
pages go into 1m as they should on svr4.
preinstall runs before installation takes place. It
ensures that ntp is down if it is up before
installing a replacement package
postinstall starts up ntp after package installation.
preremove brings down ntp before removing the package.
You create a package using "make package". This creates a file
called xntp.pkg. To install this package, you use
"pkgadd -d `pwd`/xntp.pkg xntp". This will start up ntp if
/etc/inet/ntp.conf exists. If you don't want the package anymore, use
"pkgrm xntp". I have tested this on Solaris 2.4.
