Bug 521804 – Migrate away from ntp-units.d files

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2014-08-31 11:22:17 UTC]

Per:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=b72ddf0f4f552dd53d6404b6ddbc9f17d02b8e12

Introduced in systemd-216, looks like we will need to update ntp providers unit files. I doubt about dropping current ntp-units.d files as that would require us to need systemd-216. We should probably provide both ways for a transition period. What do you think?

Not sure if there is any way to check for this apart of manually :/, in my case I have net-misc/ntp and it needs updating, but I am nearly sure it's the same for other ntp implementations in the tree

We should add:
Conflicts=systemd-timesyncd.service

to the units then

Right. I've already taken care of chrony.

As for other providers, I think we really only have three:

net-misc/chrony
net-misc/openntpd
net-misc/ntp

All handled, do you have any opinion about how will we phase out the old way and systemd_enable_ntpunit systemd.eclass function? :/
