Reconstructing our issue list

[Eric S. Raymond]

Gitlab has had an outage.  They are working to recover, but it seems
their backups were hosed and then someone made a finger error. It is
possible that our issues and merge requests have been lost.

Account of the incident here:

Thankfully, we have kept on top of our work queue and NTPsec is not
very exposed. I think there was only one MR pending, an attempt to
make snap metadata.

A sightly cleaned up text dump of our issues list follows.  If you own
one of these bugs and can remember more content, please make notes about it
*immediately*, before your memory fades, and ship them in a reply to

My notes:

RFE: Support /etc/ntp.d or includes:
   We already have inclusion support, so this comes down to
   implementing a scan of /etc/ntp.d if it exists and using the
   configs found there.  I had a bit set to only interpret files
   anding in .conf sop we can also keep inactive configuratioon
   boilerplate here and enable/disable by changing links.

RFE: Move baud rate and mode bits out of TTL field
   This one refers to overloading the ttl field (named for its use
   in server descriptions) to hold mode information in refclock
   drivers. It's a trivial cleanup.

waf does not respect --mandir argument
   Just what it says on the tin.
