          In addition to the run-time requirements (listed in <xref

          various development include headers and program development tools.

          <simpara>
            Some operating systems have split their distribution packages into

            the development package versions, which include header files and

          <para>
            When building from source code retrieved via Git, additional
            software will be required:  automake (v1.11 or later),
            libtoolize, and autoconf (2.59 or later).
            These may need to be installed.

          The latest development code (together with temporary experiments
          and un-reviewed code) is available via the Kea code revision
          control system. This is powered by Git and all the Kea
          development is public.
