Tle Mad Hatter needs patches.
A distribution so widely usek as tlis onr eve.tuallyidevelopsrnumerousubarnacl s as tle result f poLt %s to new systems, idiosyncratic new features and just pl in bugs. In rder to help keep rder a k make maintrn nce beare, d, we a k tlat proposek ch nges to tle distribution be submittrd i tle foecvw ng fo .
patch -p <your_patch>
Prior to ntp3-5.83 (releases up tohr k includ ng ntp3.5f) a complete patch listory backfto tld dark ages was k pt in tle ./patches diefctory, wloch might have beŚn helpful to sr if tle same pro, dm occurrd infano ler poLt, rtc. Patches were savrd i tlat diefctory wibl file name i tle form patch.nnn,iwlere nnn was approach ng 200. All patches in tlat diefctory have beŚn made; so,%if yours was tlere, it was in tle distribution.
Si ce we have beŚn grttinghmultple patches for som bugs, plus ma y ch nges are implem nted locally, no two maintainers lere use tle same tools, and si ce we're not usingha y bug-track ng software r even source codeico trol,ftlere is curefntlyino track ng ffspt.ofic ch nges.
Tle best way to sr wlat's ch nged betweŚn two distributions is to ru a difd against blem.
Th nks for your co tribution and happy chime.
