That much for the other spin I guess: https://support.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=802
The upstream bug is set to "wontfix" with the primary reason being ignorance if I may say so. They don't see the problem. It's just once per second and mostly we don't even do anything! Read the thread, people tried to explain again and again. It looks hopeless to me, really. This is the Debian response: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-ntp-maintainers/2011-January/002731.html It's basically: "If upstream won't include the patch, it's probably garbage." Although there wasn't much of a discussion so maybe there is a chance of convincing the Debian people at least. Best chance, however, would be to do it in Ubuntu I guess. AFAICS the patch has been in Fedora for quite some time so I don't really see the risk. ** Bug watch added: NTP Bugzilla #802 https://support.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=802 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/697676 Title: ntp wakes once per second [was: ntp kills polar bears] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/697676/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
