Bug#692923: Status of chrony
Hi,
I mailed the current maintainer of chrony back when I did the NMU asking
him about the status of the package. I sugested him orphaning the package
or filing a RFA bug, but all he said is he would look at the package soon.
When he did it was way to late for the release...
Given the very sorry state of the package (the RC bug is just the tip of
the iceberg). If it is not possible releasing Wheezy with a newer version
with an improved packaging in terms of quality, thing I doubt is possible at this state,
I think the best is not releasing it with Wheezy at all and people interested
in chrony could work in a backport of a newer upstream release.
There is somebody working a newer version of the package, see:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/rbrito-guest/chrony.git
but AFAIK he hasn't gotten the ACK of the current maintainer to take
over chrony.
Ana
