Both spec file and debian/ are up for adoption. The spec file is most often up to date to handle current HEAD of the tree. The debian/ directory is probably obsoleted vs current Debian packaging guidelines. I surely welcome patches to support both in a better way. DO NOT ship kronosnetd. It's an experimental piece of super crappy code. IF you decide to ship it anyway, you get to be also the upstream maintainer :-) you have been warned. libtap is a simple commodity library used only by kronosnetd. I don't mind to support it, but don't ship just for the fun of it. It has no users, that I know of, outside of kronosnetd. libknet is still under heavy development. There might be more onwire network changes that could make current version incompatible with newer versions. Make sure to warn your users about it. Plan is to release a stable version (1.0) when we are confident that the current implementation is stable enough. -libknet has a lot of build dependencies due to it's modular +libknet has a lot of build dependencies due to its modular implementation. It does not, however, link with all those libraries but uses a dlopen model to save runtime resources and provide flexibility to users to install only the libraries they are planning to use. Make sure that you do build with all feature enabled (compatible with your distribution licencing/patent policy of course) and tune your packaging to Recommend/Suggest the external libraries.
