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
+ autoconf 2.58 or later
+ automake 1.8 or later
lynx
Lynx is used to generate the COPYRIGHT file. Don't ask.
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
+ bk clone http://ntp.bkbits.net/REPO REPO
Finally, it's possible to use SMTP as a bk transport mechanism. So far, we
haven't tried this.
