Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign]:
> The developer of ntpsec is hostile toward macOS and is not interested in
providing support for earlier versions of macOS that do not have features
he wants to use in his software.
Yeah, I know. :-) As seen here:
{{{
cc9491c82 Drop support for OS X 10.11. Apple screwed this pooch too many
different ways.
}}}
Though that was actually based on taking a wrong approach to fixing code
that was broken in multiple ways, anyway.
Supporting ntpsec on the Mac may eventually become intractable, but for
now it's not *that* hard to fix, by reverting the two commits that broke
10.12, and adding a few additional patches for <10.12. Since the 10.12
and <10.12 patches touch at least one common file, I didn't split them
into separate patchfiles.
