Ubuntu 9.10 should be ok with the applied patch, because kernels after 2.6.26 are nanokernels (ie, they have STA_NANO available). However, according to Debian maintainer Kurt Roeckx, using this patch on a non- nano kernel (eg Hardy) may have some odd side-effects. If people are backporting Karmic's ntp to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, they should be aware of this issue.
An alternate patch that checks if the kernel supports nano seconds or not is at: https://support.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=888 ** Bug watch added: NTP Bugzilla #888 https://support.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=888 -- ntp FTBFS: error: 'MOD_NANO' undeclared https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412242 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
