Yes, I've been following that project too, giving ntp a good work-over is not a bad idea.
It's not quite ready for prime time yet - version 0.9.5 doesn't build on leap422 for instance. Nor does the master from github.
Too bad, but this is one of the few times I think one of the suse staff needs to get in the loop and get fixes pushed upstream.
I get the impression it is still pretty new stuff, but anyone can create a project and start building. Upstream seems to be ESR only at the moment. If you ask me, it ought to be introduced as an alternative, not an immediate replacement. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.6°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
