Great NTP Client/Server for dialup users. Chronyd can sync the local clock to several time servers. With a dialup-script you can tell chrony to go online and in your ip-down you tell it to go offline. I use it that way and as timeserver for my home network. For all recent versions of Linux, there is support for using the systems real-time clock (RTC) at boot time to restart chronyd with a good estimate of the true time. This is done by working out how much time the RTC gains or loses over a certain period, and using this information to correct the RTC reading at the next boot. I put it into net-misc in my portage tree.
Created attachment 436 [details] chrony-1.17.ebuild
Created attachment 437 [details] Makefile and configure patch The Makefile.in and configure script did not allow to set mandir and infodir. There was no DESTDIR or something like that either.
There is a new release of chrony now and I adapted my ebuild to it. Now there is a mandir infodir and destdir. I can be the maintainer of this ebuild if you like. To get new versions of ebuilds I've done go to http://stud.upb.de/~q9tharkun/
As of 12 May there seems to be a chrony already in net-misc. If there is an issue with that ebuild, please contact either myself or the ebuild maintainer. Thanks!
