Thank you for identifying this. I agree it makes sense to fix it in Xenial. Though I wonder about how the change might adversely impact existing users.
For example, if a DHCP user is receiving a broken set of NTP servers that doesn't work, currently his NTP won't be broken because the default set will be used But with this fixed, the default set will stop being used, and his NTP will appear to break. Though the root cause is that his DHCP or network was misconfigured, it would be the SRU that causes the problem to emerge. In principle I think this is OK, but we should point it out in "Regression Potential", and I appreciate more opinions. ** Also affects: ntp (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1656801 Title: ntp: changing the default config from server to pool broke the dhcp hook To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1656801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
