- 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.
