Thanks. Yes. That would explain this problem.

 

But that cleanup went in back in June. Why didn't we notice this problem

earlier?

 

It is one of many jobs set up to fail withou fanfare. Nobody was checking up on them on the pipelines tab at GitLab.

 

Ubuntu 16.04 is pretty old, does it need to be supported?

Good question. Any opinions?

There are also 14.04 and 18.04

Are there any other distros supporting old old old versions that we might

run into?

 

Do we have a web page that describes our support policy?

 

I'd ask Richard Laager, but I don't see anything before Bionic listed as having a NTPsec package in tree.

 

Besides https://www.ntpsec.org/supported-platforms.html I dunno it there might be.

 

 

My vote is that we support versions that are publicly supported and don't

support old versions that are suppported for fee. That's not so much that

we aren't interested in old versions but that they aren't interested in

us. We should consider support for an old version on a case by case basis

if there is ever any interest. Who knows, somebody might get interested

in NTS.

 

Until it come to Python I suppose.

 

I think the fix is only 3 or 4 lines in 2 places.

 

Does #ifdef work on functions? I thought not, but the old code looks like

its doing that.

Possibly, the correct route would probably be to check for the function in wscript and set an appropriate #define.
