Bug#522698: Exclude kfreebsd architecture from openntpd build?
Hi Dererk, I'm afraid it's not yet so easy to debug on kfreebsd-* flavors, as the port lack most common (unless for me) debugging tools, therefore, you might understand it's not a matter like noone cares. Ok, so I understand you are having problems debugging on kfreebsd for reasons that are beyond you. I would say this is even more reason to exclude kfreebsd from the build until the situation gets better. On the other hand, against what common sense could tell you, openntpd doesn't adjust the system's clock rate (it uses adjtime()), although Its something you take for granted when you install a software like this, it really ends up being more painful than useful for end-users that just want their sandboxes clocked (#306106). I understand that there may be other problems with the openntpd package, but I do not see them tagged 'grave' at this point. Therefore I do not think that bringing them into discussion here will change anything w.r.t. to this bug. Unfortunately, the only patch I could manage to get running on replacing adjtime() with adjtimex() didn't work as expected. [ OT for this bug ] Do you mean this patch? http://dtucker.freeshell.org/openntpd/patches/openntpd-3.6.1p1-linux-adjtimex.patch What is the problem with it?

For people running on different architectures than kfreebsd this is very unfortunate, because they did not suffer from this grave bug. Can't we just exclude kfreebsd-* from the Architecture field in debian/control so that we don't build the package for kfreebsd (pending the kfreebsd bug getting fixed)?

Therefore, in the hope of waiting for a patch that could do the magic, I'll be requesting release managers for removal and block on Squeeze for the sake of user's sanity.
