I really love Gentoo's IPv6 support. What I'm missing is ntp with IPv6 support.
Unfortunately, ntp version 4.1.2 that is currently the stable ntp version in
portage is not IPv6 capable (4.1.78 and up is). The new ntp version 4.2.0 is out
and I would really love to see this in Gentoo's portage. TNX in advance for your
help!

sorry for the delay all, but 4.2.0 can now be found in portage

Works, the only "problem" left is a 

chown -R go-w /usr/share/ntp

in line 101 of the ebuild which should probably be a chmod :-)

BTW, whoever wants to test a stratum-1 enabled ntp appliance by Meinberg can test time.join.uni-muenster.de. More detailed information http://www.join.uni-muenster.de

ah, i'm a tool ... sorry about that :)

got it right in the 4.1.2 ebuild

And another one... both 4.1.2 and 4.2.0 support dropping root priviledges, but
while ntp-4.1.2 uses needs "-U ntp" in /etc/conf.d/ntp 4.2.0 has "-u ntp"
(lowercase u).

The ebuild for 4.2.0 currently installs the same conf.d-file as 4.1.2 breaking
startup right after installation. Not that hard to find, but should be fixed
netherless, either by installing another version of the configuration file or
by patching the droproot-patch to use -U instead of -u.
