Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi!
Can you please add timepps.h to libc6-dev? This header provides a
standardized PPSAPI interface (RFC-2783) on top of custom Linux
recently merged PPS implementation so libc should be the right place for
this file. It can be then directly used by ntp and chrony time
synchronization daemons after recompilation. Their respective configure
scripts should find and use it automatically. It's the last missing
piece in the PPS puzzle.
The file can be found in its author's git repository at
git://git.enneenne.com/linuxpps in Documentation/pps/ directory. I've
attached it for simplicity.
Also I'd like to push this file to the upstream authors. Should I do it
myself?
