Re: [gpsd-dev] gpsd rolls back to 1999

[Sanjeev Gupta]

Eric, I am running git head on ntpsec.  I am not sure that we should be fixing this in ntpsec, it should be fixed in gpsd.

I regret that gpsd still reports 1999, and ntpsec jumps back on startup.

Let me know what debug reports you would like.

The code tthat is now in ntp_wrapdate.c is supposed to rectify that, too.
