Packaging
Source tarball ns-allinone-3.16.tar.bz2.
Tarball unpacks to ns-allinone-3.16 which contains, at top level:
bake bakefile.xml build.py doc generate-binary.py bakeconf.xml bake.py examples source test
The source/ directory contains:
click netanim nsc pybindgen gccxml-ns3 ns-3.16 openflow-ns3 pygccxml
The new user will either call 'build.py', which will be a wrapper around bake, or else directly call 'bake.py build' and will build all ns-3 components. From that point forward, the user may recurse into the ns-3.16 directory and work from there using ./waf as usual (if all work is ns-3-based and just uses the libraries such nsc and netanim built initially from build.py). If the user wants to work with additional packages (Direct Code Execution), he/she will reconfigure at the bake.py level and download additional components. If the user wants to edit or patch the ns-3 supporting modules (e.g. nsc or netanim) he/she will need to do more work at the bake level.
