I don't think glibc/eglibc is the right place for this file. GLIBC is principally an implementation of the library requirements of the C and POSIX / Single Unix standards; this is not part of those standards. Why can't it be a separate package? Debian, for instance, could easily have the ntp daemon build-depend on PPS support. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
