I don't think anyone in particular has been _pushing_ to resolve these NTP related issues ... lack of urgency. Maybe it's fair to think of that as a process issue. If DaveM wants SPARC64 to completely remove its legacy RTC support for some release (which?) then: (a) great! and (b) that should be sufficient urgency. There was, I think, another patch related to this one. Then there may be a few other loose ends to tie up also. - Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
