Both packages want to install /usr/sbin/ntpd (and probably other files as well), so that blocker is perfectly valid. I'm already using these two packages without conflict. I'm using net-misc/openntpd-3.6_p1 and net-misc/ntp-4.2.0-r2 The binaries for net-misc/ntp-4.2.0-r2 show up in /usr/bin, while the binary for openntpd show up in /usr/sbin/ntpd. I've been using the two packages simultaneously just fine for many weeks now, until I tried to upgrade openntpd to 3.6_p1. I had to manually remove the "!net-misc/ntp" from RDEPEND. Then everything installs and works just fine. I use the "ntpdate" feature from net-misc/ntpd at bootup to set the clock. Also, the daemon mode of net-misc/ntpd does a great job of establishing an accurate drift file. Afterwards, I use openntpd. In fact, they have NO overlap. Run the following commands for proof: qpkg -l net-misc/ntp | sort > ntpd.ls qpkg -l openntpd | sort > openntpd.ls comm -12 ntpd.ls openntpd.ls |
