>Description:
After doing a make release followed by make install it was noticed that ntpd reported the version to be ntpd 4.2.8p3-o Fri Oct 23 13:57:19 EDT 2015 (import)
which didn't agree with the changes in /usr/src/doc/CHANGES. A look at the build process files showed that the script file mkver had not been updated and so the wrong version
string was compiled into the binary.
>How-To-Repeat:
Update to latest current, do a make release (or just build ntp). invoke the new ntp and note it reports the wrong version on startup or if invoked with
ntpd --version
>Fix:
Apply the following patch:

Rebuild ntp. This fix will also need pullup requests to NetBSD-7 and NetBSD-6
