I'd like the known crashes to be fixed first. F22 will stay at 4.2.6p5, F23 probably too. In rawhide, before it becomes F24, an update to 4.2.8p4 or later will likely happen. The Fedora package currently has 49 patches, so it won't be that easy. Most of the patches are included in the ntp code, but there are some that will need to be either rebased or dropped. I guess the most problematic patch will be the one that reduces the ntpd wakeup rate for better power saving. Since Fedora/RHEL has switched to chrony as the default NTP implementation, I'll probably just drop it. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
