+
+Here is a uuencoded, compressed tar file. The only file I've
+changed is Makefile - I've included the full file rather than diffs.
+There are some new files as well:
+
+ xntp shell script that starts up ntp during boot up
+ (the packaging stuff creates links to it so it comes
+ up at run level 2). As with all svr4 start/stop
+ scripts, it takes one parameter which is either
+ start or stop. It assumes that ntp.conf is in
+ /etc/inet/ntp.conf (where it should be on svr4
+ machines).
+ prototype describes the file contents of the package.
+ You might like to review its contents to
+ see whether you want to include any other
+ files or remove some. NB I've made the man
+ pages go into 1m as they should on svr4.
+ preinstall runs before installation takes place. It
+ ensures that ntp is down if it is up before
+ installing a replacement package
+ postinstall starts up ntp after package installation.
+ preremove brings down ntp before removing the package.
+
+You create a package using "make package". This creates a file
+called xntp.pkg. To install this package, you use
+"pkgadd -d `pwd`/xntp.pkg xntp". This will start up ntp if
+/etc/inet/ntp.conf exists. If you don't want the package anymore, use
+"pkgrm xntp". I have tested this on Solaris 2.4.
