Bug 644892 – net-misc/openntpd default conf file has a constraints line, but default use flags disable constraints

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description faminebadger 2018-01-17 23:49:08 UTC]

The default use flags are incongruent with the default ntpd.conf file supplied with the package.

/etc/ntpd.conf:
> #servers pool.ntp.org
> sensor *
> constraints from "https://www.google.com"

Use flags:
> [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
> [        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
> [ Colors : set, unset                             ]
>  * Found these USE flags for net-misc/openntpd-6.2_p1:
>  U I
>  - - libressl : Enable HTTPS TLS time constraint support using dev-libs/libressl

Man page:
> Support for constraints is only available if ntpd(8) has been linked with 
> libtls from LibreSSL. Configuring a constraint without libtls causes ntpd(8) to 
> log a warning message on startup.

The ebuild should check the use flag, and comment out the constraint configuration line if it isn't set.

As usual with gentoo, raise a bug, that's absolutely trivial to fix, and it's completely ignored.

I think it may be time to try a distro with some sort of active development.

Can you propose a patch?

Sorry for the delay, for some reason I don't reliably get email from Bugzilla :(. I try to remember to log in every few weeks to check if I missed anything but it's been pretty busy at the day job since the beginning of the year.

I'll take a look at this shortly, as you say it should be trivial to fix.
