Yes. > Are > dependencies on external programs acceptable? That depends. Will the library be available on every system that wants to run linuxptp? I spend a lot of my day job time fixing crazy application dependencies in embedded Linux systems. It really annoys me, personally, to see programs binding to every last library, whether they need to or not. <OTRant> The "florence" virtual keyboard needs gstreamer... for making clicking sounds!? Oh, and there is no compile time option to say, no sounds please. Brilliant. </OTRant> Right now, we only depend on glibc and a recent Linux kernel. I would like to keep it that way. If you can make the case that your utility really, truly needs libxyz, then maybe, as long as the main applications still compile without it.
