According to http://www.linuxpps.org/wiki/index.php/LinuxPPS_installation: | As of kernel 2.6.34 there is no need for patching to get basic LinuxPPS | support working. You can use kernel.org 2.6.34 directly. It is enabled by default in wheezy and jessie kernels: $ grep PPS linux-3.2.46/debian/config/config | grep -v ^# CONFIG_PPS=m CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_LDISC=m CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_PARPORT=m $ grep PPS /boot/config-3.2.0-4-amd64 | grep -v ^# CONFIG_PPS=m CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_LDISC=m CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_PARPORT=m $ grep PPS /boot/config-3.10-2-amd64 | grep -v ^# CONFIG_PPS=m CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_LDISC=m CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_PARPORT=m Therefore, please enable PPS support in ntp by default. All that is needed is a build dependency on pps-tools so that /usr/include/sys/timepps.h is installed, which ntp's configure uses to detect PPS support. A patch is attached for your convenience (note that it also marks #241548 as closeed, because the Oncore driver is now automatically enabled via --enable-all-clocks).
