[Touch-packages] [Bug 1432935] Re: ntpd -x steps clock on leap second (upstream bug: 2745)
Trusty is now in Extended Security Maintenance [1], and this bug doesn't qualify for it, so it won't be fixed in that release.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1432935] Re: ntpd -x steps clock on leap second (upstream bug: 2745)
I've backported the fix (actually adapted the backport that existed). But given that this is a very rare case and we are targeting an SRU eventually I'd want somebody else to test and confirm the fix. To ease to do so I've made a ppa available at: https://launchpad.net/~paelzer/+archive/ubuntu/bug-1432935-leap-x Please report if this fixes the issue for you so that we can go on processing that as an SRU. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432935 Title: ntpd -x steps clock on leap second (upstream bug: 2745) Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: in http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2745 | With older versions it was possible to use the -x option to avoid upsetting | applications running on the system when the clock is stepped due to a leap | second. | | It seems in 4.2.6 was added support for inserting/deleting leap seconds on | systems without kernel discipline.

Xenial and Yakkety are fine, it is right to consider this for trusty, yet I can't accept the nomination. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432935 Title: ntpd -x steps clock on leap second (upstream bug: 2745) Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: in http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2745 | With older versions it was possible to use the -x option to avoid upsetting | applications running on the system when the clock is stepped due to a leap | second. | | It seems in 4.2.6 was added support for inserting/deleting leap seconds on | systems without kernel discipline.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1432935] Re: ntpd -x steps clock on leap second (upstream bug: 2745)
thanks for the report! This was brought upstream to ntp via: (4.2.8p3-RC1) 2015/05/12 Released by Harlan Stenn* [Bug 2745] ntpd -x steps clock on leap second Fixed an initial-value problem that caused misbehaviour in absence of any leapsecond information. Do leap second stepping only of the step adjustment is beyond the proper jump distance limit and step correction is allowed at all. That is in Xenial and Yakkety - setting to fix released. ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432935 Title: ntpd -x steps clock on leap second (upstream bug: 2745) Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: in http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2745 | With older versions it was possible to use the -x option to avoid upsetting | applications running on the system when the clock is stepped due to a leap | second. | | It seems in 4.2.6 was added support for inserting/deleting leap seconds on | systems without kernel discipline.
