Main reason I did this is that libmd license tagging is not that easy. See my parallel mail "libmd: specification of license tags". Beside, having an external lib just to externalize MD5, esp. one that seems to be not touched since 2009, might be a bit overkill. > Signed-off-by: Andreas Pretzsch <a...@cn-eng.de> > --- > build-tested with ntp-4.2.6p5, but code still present in ntp-4.2.8p7, so > I expect this will still work. Same applies for only using MD5 from libmd. Would be great if someone could check with a more recent ntp, i.e. the one in ptxdist mainline. On the concerned BSP here, I have some local work-around-ntp-tools-behaviour hacks, which I'm not keen on investing the time for porting... > > rules/ntp.in | 1 - > 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/rules/ntp.in b/rules/ntp.in > index a1aa6d9..9f85406 100644 > --- a/rules/ntp.in > +++ b/rules/ntp.in > @@ -8,7 +8,6 @@ menuconfig NTP > select LIBC_M > select LIBC_RT > select GCCLIBS_GCC_S > - select LIBMD > help > Build the standard NTP Daemon Process and supplementary programs. > This conflicts with BSD openntpd. Michael, you added this dependency with the commit 3ad9148 from 2011-01-18 called "[ntp] fix dependencies". Guess you don't remember exactly why, do you ? ;-) -- carpe noctem engineering Ingenieurbuero fuer Hard- & Software-Entwicklung Andreas Pretzsch Dipl.-Ing.
