package net-misc/ntp-4.2.2_p3 NOT merged

No package files given... Grabbing a set.
pstros ~ # qfile /usr/share/man/man8/ntpd.8.gz
net-misc/openntpd (/usr/share/man/man8/ntpd.8.gz)
pstros ~ # emerge -pv ntp openntpd

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] net-misc/ntp-4.2.2_p3 [4.2.0.20040617-r3] USE="ipv6 logrotate
openntpd ssl -caps -debug -parse-clocks" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] net-misc/openntpd-3.7_p1  USE="ssl" 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

So I have the USE flag "openntpd" on.

i'm for just dropping the USE flag altogether and just letting the packages
always block each other

sounds good to me - i'll add the necessary blocks on openntpd

thanks

done

well, the idea in USE="openntpd" was to drop the ntp *daemon* support from
net-misc/ntp for people that want to use the ntp *daemon* from
net-misc/openntpd (which *only* has a daemon and no client) and the *client*
from net-misc/ntp.

so, what we have now, is that openntpd users are unable to get an ntp client
(along with other tools from net-misc/ntp, like sntp).

this does not seem like a solution to me.

if the net-misc/ntp maintainer managed to exclude the ntpd binary from the
merge, it should be easy to do the same for its manpage.

i am the ntp maintainer and i'm tired of maintaining this hack

restored USE=openntpd due to popular demand

'USE="-openntpd" emerge world' now compiles openntpd (net-misc/ntp-4.2.2_p3)...

Is this the new definition of the 'openntpd' in the USE var or should the
following be changed back?

-PDEPEND="!openntpd? ( net-misc/openntpd )"
+PDEPEND="openntpd? ( net-misc/openntpd )"

spanky?

thanks

The problem seems to be fixed in the portage tree now...

why dont you sync your tree
