[Bug 697676] Re: ntp wakes once per second [was: ntp kills polar bears]

[Christian Mertes]

That much for the other spin I guess:
https://support.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=802

The upstream bug is set to "wontfix" with the primary reason being
ignorance if I may say so. They don't see the problem. It's just once
per second and mostly we don't even do anything! Read the thread, people
tried to explain again and again. It looks hopeless to me, really.

This is the Debian response:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-ntp-maintainers/2011-January/002731.html

It's basically: "If upstream won't include the patch, it's probably
garbage." Although there wasn't much of a discussion so maybe there is a
chance of convincing the Debian people at least.

Best chance, however, would be to do it in Ubuntu I guess.

AFAICS the patch has been in Fedora for quite some time so I don't
really see the risk.
