Without reference to any other comments/decisions on this bug... "It would clearly be more ideal to use 'ntp.ubuntu.com' rather than it's IP address, but it is the lesser of the two evils"
It would not be *more* ideal to use the hostname, it's the only sane option. Using the IP address is simply broken and wrong. There is no guarantee whatsoever that the IP address will remain constant (and indeed it has already changed once in the lifetime of Ubuntu). -- Request ntp-servers by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74164 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
