NOTE: The CVS repository for NTP is inactive. NTP is now maintained
|
|
using BitKeeper; see README.bk for more info.
|
|
|
|
To get the NTP distribution via anonymous CVS:
|
|
|
|
% cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@www.ntp.org:/cvs/ntp login
|
|
|
|
the password is: anoncvs
|
|
|
|
% rm -rf ntp
|
|
% cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@www.ntp.org:/cvs/ntp co ntp
|
|
|
|
after which the "ntp_update" script in the top-level of the tree should
|
|
keep things in synch and properly timestamped.
|
|
|
|
PLEASE NOTE:
|
|
|
|
When obtaining the NTP distribution directly via CVS instead of
|
|
using "ntp_update", the files are installed in an arbitrary
|
|
order.
|
|
|
|
When you run "make", this may cause some of the generated files
|
|
to be reconstructed.
|
|
|
|
If you do not have the right verison of automake and autoconf,
|
|
these files will be regenerated incorrectly.
|
|
|
|
In this case, you can "fix" your distribution by running:
|
|
|
|
ntp_update -C
|
|
|
|
which will force any local changes to your NTP files to be
|
|
discarded and replaced with the versions in the repository.
|
|
|
|
If "ntp_update -C" does not work just remove the "broken"
|
|
files (probably Makefile.in files) and re-run ntp_udate.
|
|
|
|
There are some mailing lists for the NTP CVS distribution. For more
|
|
information, send a message to <majordomo@ntp.org> with the word "lists"
|
|
in the body of the message.
|
|
|
|
If you get NTP via CVS, you MAY need to build the release using GNU make
|
|
and gcc.
|
|
|
|
You can then "make dist" to build a release tarball that does not require
|
|
GNU make or gcc.
|
|
|
|
The reason GNU make and gcc may be required is because the repository
|
|
version of NTP does not have the make dependencies built-in. These
|
|
dependencies are created dynamically, and this dynamic process may
|
|
require GNU make and gcc.
|
|
|
|
I'm told that the version of automake we are now using does not require
|
|
GNU make or gcc for the dependency tracking, but I haven't tested this
|
|
yet.
