<p dir="ltr">I have been attempting to build on CentOS/RHEL 6 and 7. I filed tickets based on experiences on each </p>
<p dir="ltr">CentOS 6 does not have an RPM for libevent2. Thus without special work by each person building NTPsec, it won't build. AFAIK this distribution is the latest RHEL approved for use on DoD networks. I could not find a STIG for RHEL 7 so any organization which requires the DISA STIG to be applied is stuck at 6.</p>
<p dir="ltr">My CentOS 7 was missing a package and the build didn't disable the reference clocks that depended on it. Ticket filed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The CentOS 6 issue raises some questions. Did we intend to support this OS? Long term, it highlights the problem of assuming a newer external support library is going to be part of a LTS OS distribution. I don't know if this was on the master list of supported OSes and checked when libevent2 as a dependency was discussed. I don't recall having a checklist OSes to ensure we checked all.</p>
