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.
