1In order to use the BitKeeper repository version of NTP you will have 2to have the following tools installed: 3 4 autoconf 2.53 or later 5 automake 1.5 or later 6 lynx 7 8Lynx is used to generate the COPYRIGHT file. Don't ask. 9 10You can get bitkeeper by visiting: 11 12 http://www.bitkeeper.com/ 13 14We are using bitkeeper under their free license program. You can use 15bitkeeper for free to access NTP, too. If you have questions about this, 16please ask. The license is pretty easy to read. 17 18Once you have installed bitkeeper, you can clone any NTP repository. 19 20 Note: as of 2002-05, ntp.bkserver.net and ntp.bkbits.net are 21 being upgraded. Depending on the "phase" of the upgrade, one 22 of the two machines may not answer. 23 24You can get the ntp-stable repository by either of the following commands: 25 26 bk clone bk://www.ntp.org/home/bk/ntp-stable ntp-stable 27 28 bk clone bk://ntp.bkserver.net/ntp-stable ntp-stable 29 30 bk clone bk://ntp.bkbits.net/ntp-stable ntp-stable 31 32You can get the ntp-dev repository by either of the following commands: 33 34 bk clone bk://www.ntp.org/home/bk/ntp-dev ntp-dev 35 36 bk clone bk://ntp.bkserver.net/ntp-dev ntp-dev 37 38 bk clone bk://ntp.bkbits.net/ntp-dev ntp-dev 39 40If you are stuck behind a firewall that blocks access to the default port 41used by bitkeeper (14690) but you can use port 80 instead, you can use 42http as a bk transport mechanism. Just use: 43 44 bk clone http://ntp.bkserver.net/REPO REPO 45 46Finally, it's possible to use SMTP as a bk transport mechanism. So far, we 47haven't tried this. 48 49Once you have obtained the sources, do the following: 50 51 cd REPO 52 bk -r edit to check out the files 53 autoreconf -f -i generates configure and Makefile.in's 54 55and you should be ready to go. You will get some warning messages from 56autoreconf. Ignore these messages. 57 58You can update your repository by incanting: 59 60 cd REPO 61 bk pull 62 63If you want to submit patches, please see the README.hackers file. 64
