NTP has a very long history with where its files and executables are installed, and every time I've tried to change these locations in the past there has been a huge backlash. I was finally able to come up with a mechanism that lets different OSes control where they want the executables (which also handles the choice of man or mdoc tags in the man pages, and what section each man page is installed). That seems to be acceptable to folks. One installation directory choice I haven't found a good solution to is the ntp.conf file, which is traditionally installed in /etc/ . If there is an ntp.keys file, it will usually go in /etc/ as well. In general, folks want the config-related files to be in /etc/ even if they install the binaries in /usr/local. While I'd like to use sysconfdir for this I'm concerned about the hackery I'd need to do to make it work as we expect. I'm thinking about using ntpconfdir for this, but how to make that work the way the other paths do hasn't been obvious to me from casual study. I'd rather not use AC_ARG_ENABLE or AC_ARG_WITH for this, either, just because that seems crufty to me. What other choices are there? -- Harlan Stenn <stenn@xxxxxxx> http://networktimefoundation.org - be a member! _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
