Writing a new superservice involves several things:
Making new directories in CVS:
/service/<superservice>/
/service/<superservice>/script/
/service/<superservice>/reports/
Adding several files:
/service/<superservice>/Makefile.am
/service/<superservice>/reports/Makefile.am
/service/<superservice>/script/Makefile.am
/service/<superservice>/<superservice>.cfg
/service/<superservice>/<superservice>.xml This file specifies the superservice's DLF format. Ideally, it should offer a place for each and every snippet of information which will ever be found in a logfile from a program which offers functionality defined by the superservice.
Writing service plugins (2dlf scripts):
/service/<superservice>/script/<service>2dlf.in
Adapting several files:
/service/all/etc/defaults.in (to add a TODLF declaration)
/service/all/lib/Lire/DataTypes.pm (adjust the check_superservice function.)
/service/configure.in (add the Makefiles and 2dlf script to AC_OUTPUT, to get them converted from <service>2dlf.in to <service>2dlf.)
/service/Makefile.am (add the superservice directory to SUBDIRS, so that make gets run there too, when called from the root source directory.)
