The Debian maintainers think it's the job of the kernel developers to provide it and the kernel developers [my speculation, the result of reading between the lines] think it's redundant because it's just a wrapper (syntactic sugar) around the real API. Maybe they covertly agree that since NTP is (perhaps) the only software using the RFC-style interface it should provide timepps.h _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
