Hi Ralf, > Pardon my language ignorance: what do you mean by "tear-off package"? > Could you post the code that exemplifies this?
NTP includes an SNTP implementation. If you get an ntp tarball you also get the sntp subdir. The configure.ac includes an AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(sntp). It is possible for somebody to only build/distribute the sntp/ subtree, and that is what I mean by a "tear-off package". In this case, Bruce Korb is helping me to convert the code to use AutoGen and AutoOpts. This means I need to distribute libopts/ as part of things. I am hoping to have the tree look like: ntp/ ntp/... ntp/sntp ntp/sntp/... ntp/sntp/libopts ntp/sntp/... ntp/... and use the sntp/libopts code for both the sntp/ code as well as the other executables in the ntp/* tree. The tarball is at: ftp://ftp.eecis.udel.edu/pub/ntp/ntp4/testing/ntp-dev-ag.tar.gz Please note that we are hacking on this code fairly often, but that tarball should be a useful example. H
