For right now, it does not matter. Their goal is to fix the project from a security point of view, and it would be impossible if they tied their hands with that during the course of development. In the future, you can expect the same deal as OpenSSH, OpenNTPD and all the other OpenBSD software that _eventually_ gets ported to other architectures when it reaches a point of stability and safety that it makes sense to do so.

Portable OpenNTPD seems to have died: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenNTPD https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenNTPD I'm sure LibreSSL won't have that problem but I thought it worthwhile pointing out that support for other OSes is not guaranteed.

    Are you sure? There hasn't been a release for 8 years. I followed the links a while ago after hitting an intialization failure bug that leaves Linux boxes with the incorrect date. I found that neither Arch Linux or Redhat consider OpenNTPD to be supported on Linux. Edit: a better link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430143 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430143

      11/11/2009 is not 8 years ago. That "better link" is exactly what I was referring to.

        From the OpenNTPD homepage at http://www.openntpd.org/ http://www.openntpd.org/ Portable OpenNTPD 3.9p1 released May 14, 2006. It would be good if you could explain what I am missing. If there are more recent Linux releases and the information on the Redhat bug tracker is incorrect I would like to know. I'd rather be running OpenNTPD than ntpd.

        To be fair, all releases after the one cited by papaf don't have a corresponding portable release (and that's what this thread is about).
