$ git push ... remote: Your system clock is off by 5 seconds (limit 5) remote: Run NTP, rebase your commits as needed, and push again. To ssh://git.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined) clocks are not allowed to drift by more than 4 seconds ? that seems unnecessarily strict. not sure what this is attempting to protect against, but should bump this to at least 10 seconds if not 30 seconds.
I've tried to improve the clarity of the checks and their output: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/infra/githooks.git/diff/local/require-signed-push?h=require-signed-push-clarity&id=require-signed-push-clarity&id2=master There are two checks: - The entire round-trip should take less than 60 seconds (including the developer interacting with their signing token or GPG) - If the developer's system generates the developer-side timestamp signing process (before any hit to GPG or tokens), if the clock is wrong or the system is heavily loaded, it'll trip the error if it's out by more than 5 seconds. The 60 second round-trip timing is to reduce chances of MITM in 2FA. If the developer's clock is wrong, then author timestamps, commit timestamps and the push timestamps will all be wrong (likely in the same way). Commits that are accepted, and in a linear history, may appear to have time jumping around (e.g. your clock is behind the time of the previous commit). That said, maybe 5 seconds is too strict? please suggest an alternate value? 30 seconds?

I would argue if it is something actually worth addressing. If you can push you do have network access, if you drop something that have smarts for NTP sync like net-misc/chrony then most likely you will never have drift that goes above 1s anyway. Install it, start it, and forget the problem.

Install it, start it, and forget the problem. Part of the issue is that triggering this check is not necessarily due to clock drift. If the push operation itself took a while (for whatever reason, such as high cpu load, or a pre-push hook with `sleep 5`), it'll mistakenly think it's clock drift. But as I've been told there's no way to tell the difference.
I found it hard to believe so I tested it and you're right, pre-push hook will detail it. In that case, it is worth addressing or even removing as a whole.
As far as I'm concerned 10s would be enough for bit of leeway, although the suggested 30s would give the freedom to use pre-push hooks with "less" worries (if not straight up removing). Right now I rely on a "git push" wrapper (for pkgcheck scan --commits and other stuff, similar to pkgdev push) and only have actual pre-push hook do minimal sanity checks (like stopping me if I forgot to use the wrapper). The wrapper is something I formerly didn't use but added after I pushed to gentoo for the first time being hit by the ntp check. Not that I can't live with 5s, but I do feel it's too strict in a situation where it can't be an accurate check for clock drift.
ionen: Thank you for mentioning pre-push as a contributing factor. Expensive checks should NOT be included in that, because of the timing of when pre-push is run. From the git hooks documentation: > The pre-push hook runs during git push, after the remote refs have been updated but before any objects have been transferred. It receives the name and location of the remote as parameters, and a list of to-be-updated refs through stdin. You can use it to validate a set of ref updates before a push occurs (a non-zero exit code will abort the push). The "during" is the problem here. "pre-push" really should have been calling "during-push", and free up the name to do stuff BEFORE it contacts the server (which would be based on the last known state of the server, rather than latest state).

(In reply to Robin Johnson from comment #9) looks like there's syntax errors in there. the short funcs are missing ;. -silent_die() { exit 1 } +silent_die() { exit 1; } -die() { echo "$@" >&2; silent_die } +die() { echo "$@" >&2; silent_die; }
can we get the fix deployed please ? it's annoying to have to keep repushing.
pushed to puppet, please verify in 2 hours.
i haven't seen issues so far, but it didn't always hit me (for obvious reasons). i'll assume it's fixed, thanks!
