In order to use the BitKeeper repository version of NTP you will have
to have the following tools installed:
autoconf 2.53 or later
automake 1.5 or later
lynx
Lynx is used to generate the COPYRIGHT file. Don't ask.
You can get bitkeeper by visiting:
http://www.bitkeeper.com/
We are using bitkeeper under their free license program. You can use
bitkeeper for free to access NTP, too. If you have questions about this,
please ask. The license is pretty easy to read.
Once you have installed bitkeeper, you can clone any NTP repository.
Note: as of 2002-05, ntp.bkserver.net and ntp.bkbits.net are
being upgraded. Depending on the "phase" of the upgrade, one
of the two machines may not answer.
You can get the ntp-stable repository by either of the following commands:
bk clone bk://www.ntp.org/home/bk/ntp-stable ntp-stable
bk clone bk://ntp.bkserver.net/ntp-stable ntp-stable
bk clone bk://ntp.bkbits.net/ntp-stable ntp-stable
You can get the ntp-dev repository by either of the following commands:
bk clone bk://www.ntp.org/home/bk/ntp-dev ntp-dev
bk clone bk://ntp.bkserver.net/ntp-dev ntp-dev
bk clone bk://ntp.bkbits.net/ntp-dev ntp-dev
If you are stuck behind a firewall that blocks access to the default port
used by bitkeeper (14690) but you can use port 80 instead, you can use
http as a bk transport mechanism. Just use:
bk clone http://ntp.bkserver.net/REPO REPO
Finally, it's possible to use SMTP as a bk transport mechanism. So far, we
haven't tried this.
Once you have obtained the sources, do the following:
cd REPO
bk -r edit to check out the files
autoreconf -f -i generates configure and Makefile.in's
and you should be ready to go. You will get some warning messages from
autoreconf. Ignore these messages.
You can update your repository by incanting:
cd REPO
bk pull
If you want to submit patches, please see the README.hackers file.
