Blair Zajac commented on CASSANDRA-5816: ---------------------------------------- On raring ptpd doesn't provide time-daemon. I don't use ptpd so I don't feel strongly about including it in the recommends. Changing it to ntp | time-daemon works for me. > [PATCH] Debian packaging: also recommend chrony and ptpd in addition to ntp > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-5816 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5816 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Packaging > Affects Versions: 1.2.7 > Reporter: Blair Zajac > Assignee: Blair Zajac > Priority: Minor > > I'm switching my Ubuntu servers running Cassandra from ntp to chrony for the > reasons cited here when Fedora made the switch to have chrony be the default > NTP client: > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChronyDefaultNTP > Currently, the debian packaging recommends only ntp so if chrony is installed > it'll want to remove it and install ntp.
