Description Alessandro Barbieri 2019-10-07 13:58:06 UTC
New version available with a fix for a broken systemd unit (possibly also a security fix)
https://github.com/ntpsec/ntpsec/releases/tag/NTPsec_1_1_7
Comment 1 James Browning 2019-10-07 20:33:32 UTC
upstream: https://gitlab.com/NTPsec/ntpsec/-/releases

I see other things but no mention of the systemd units. I also see no changes to the upstream systemd units or their handling in the last 6 months. It is an issue just not one handled here. The solution I use is a modified ebuild which  (among other things) uses the ntpd, ntplog*, ntpviz* and ntp-wait units from inside a build directory. That is something for another issue though.

bullet points:
- The numeric literal argument of the 'time1' fudge option on a clock can now have one or more letter suffixes that compensate for era rollover in a GPS device. Each "g" adds the number of seconds in a 1024-week (10-bit) GPS era. Each "G" adds the number of seconds in a 8192-week (13-bit) GPS era.

- The neoclock4x driver has been removed, due to the hardware and the vendor having utterly vanished from the face of the earth.

- The NTS ALPN negotiation sequence has been modified for improved interoperability with other NTS implementations.

- NTS key rotation now happens every 24 hours. It used to rotate every hour to enable testing of recovery from stale cookies.

Well, the correct systemd unit is available since v1.1.0
https://github.com/ntpsec/ntpsec/commit/8459d15f8cf19a54cf149779d0d967883aa5c6b4
but the ebuild installs the old one
