Hm, yes, having two similar but not identical implementations of the timedate interface and using one only when an NTP package is installed could be a source of confusion. Beside the selection of the NTP service that should enabled/disabled, there are some minor differences in the functionality. For instance, when setting the time, timedatex compensates for the time spent in the polkit authorization check. E.g. running "timedatectl set-time 12:00:00" and taking 5 seconds to type the password sets the clock to 12:00:05, not 12:00:00. Would it make more sense to always use timedatex in Fedora, even when no NTP package is installed? -- Miroslav Lichvar -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
