Else I will summarise and add to the gpsd and ntpsec docs later). Since timepps.h was, according to Linux Kernel documentation, supposed to be in the kernel tree, and is not there now, and the pps-test distribution which has it has not been touched for years, can I assume that your third option (above) is preferred?
