We didn't want to diverge until Debian decided to either ship it or fully remove it. Now Debian release at least to experimental (but only there so far).
Given the low prio/impact this had overall so far, we will likely pick it up in the merge for the aa-release and then consider SRUing it back. Waiting the ~8 weeks until the merge work begins for next cycle will also help to ensure there is no rolling back on the Debian side since this is only in experimental so far as mentioned above. If one is willing to do the work on it before that time I'm open to helping him/her. Overall the sntp change consists of: - debian/patches/sntp-sysexits.patch (to allow it to build) - dropping --with-sntp=no - adding in debian/ntp.install - there also was some major overhaul in d/rules which will have to be adapted for SRUs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1604010 Title: sntp missing Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in ntp package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: In Ubuntu 16.04, the binary file /usr/bin/sntp is missing from the package ntp. The associated man page /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz is still included. How to reproduce: $ sudo apt-get install ntp $ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz Expected result: /usr/bin/sntp was included in Ubuntu 14.04: $ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp /usr/bin/sntp /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz The sntp program remains a very useful tool for interactively testing on the command line the offset of the local clock to a remote NTP server (like "ntpdate -qu [ntp-server]" previously). It should be included in the same package as its man page.
