NTP users are strongly urged to take immediate action to ensure that their NTP daemons are not susceptible to being used in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Please also take this opportunity to defeat denial-of-service attacks by implementing Ingress and Egress filtering through BCP38.

ntp-4.2.8p15 was released on 23 June 2020. It addresses 1 medium-severity security issue in ntpd, and provides 13 non-security bugfixes over 4.2.8p13.

Please see the NTP Security Notice for vulnerability and mitigation details.

Documentation Project

Overview

Dave has been maintaining the entire body of documentation as html pages. There are certain sets of pages he is willing to let others maintain.

Dave wants the entire body documentation to be available in HTML format. The documentation need not be in HTML for its source form, but one of the presentation forms must be HTML.

In addition to providing robust command-line processing and documentation, GNU AutoGen has rudimentary support for being the "source" for producing documentation in man and .texi format. A useful variety of presentation forms can be generated from the .texi format.

General Notes

Harlan was talking to stickster on #fedora-docs at freenode (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PaulWFrields) who recommended docbook, and said that installing the tools on Fedora is Really Easy.

Other items we care about include:

• GNUAutoGenConversion
• Searchable man pages (different released versions) - see PspPlans
