About the source-code

Due to the fact that the source code of olsrd and the extensions is of somewhere between 25 and 30 thousand lines, it is not included in the appendix. If the you wish to study the code mentioned in these sections, which is highly recommended, you should download it from http://www.olsr.org. The source is bzipped and tarred into a file called uolsrd-x.x.x.tar.bz2 (where x'es are replaced with version numbers). Assuming you have the tar and bunzip2 tools available on your system you can untar and unzip this file doing:

tar jxvf uolsrd-x.x.x.tar.bz2

• lib - Various plugin code. Set up with src and bin directories as well.
