3 | Those are a few things about this project that you should know. | |
4 | ||

5 | I surely welcome patches to support both in a better way. |
6 | ||
7 | DO NOT ship kronosnetd. It's an experimental piece of super | |
8 | crappy code. IF you decide to ship it anyway, you get to | |
9 | be also the upstream maintainer :-) you have been warned. | |
10 | ||
e3edb083 | 11 | libnozzle is a simple commodity library used only by kronosnetd. |

12 | I don't mind to support it, but don't ship just for the fun of it. |
13 | It has no users, that I know of, outside of kronosnetd. | |
14 | ||
15 | libknet is still under heavy development. There might be more | |
16 | onwire network changes that could make current version | |
17 | incompatible with newer versions. Make sure to warn your users | |
18 | about it. Plan is to release a stable version (1.0) when | |
19 | we are confident that the current implementation is stable enough. | |
20 | ||
5fd3755c | 21 | libknet has a lot of build dependencies due to its modular |
8dc18cb4 FDN |
22 | implementation. It does not, however, link with all those libraries |
23 | but uses a dlopen model to save runtime resources and provide | |
24 | flexibility to users to install only the libraries they are | |
25 | planning to use. Make sure that you do build with all feature | |
26 | enabled (compatible with your distribution licencing/patent | |
27 | policy of course) and tune your packaging to Recommend/Suggest | |
28 | the external libraries. | |
