[oe] [meta-networking][PATCHv3] chrony: Versatile implementation of NTP

2016-06-15 Thread Henry Hallam 
From: Henry Hallam <he...@pericynthion.org>

chrony is an alternative to ntpd.  In particular it may be useful
for quasi-realtime embedded systems that have a pulse-per-second
time reference available and need to rapidly synchronize to it after
boot, which appears to be unachievable with ntpd.

2016-06-15 Thread Henry Hallam 

Patch version 3:
- Move variable defs to appropriate places in the recipe, per Koen's feedback
- Correct location of drift file
- Add conflict with ntimed, and note about systemd-timesyncd

Thanks, Henry

[oe] [meta-networking][PATCH v2] chrony: Versatile implementation of NTP

2016-06-14 Thread Henry Hallam 

Patch version 2:
- No longer hard-coding paths  
- Fix missing build dependencies, depending on PACKAGECONFIG features 
- Split off chronyc into separate output package
- Default config points to openembedded.pool.ntp.org rather than
  pool.ntp.org (which should never be shipped as a default)

I have applied for the above NTP pool vendor zone per
http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.html#vendor-zone

Thanks, Henry

Thanks Martin. It looks like those didn't show up for me because nss
and libedit are both optional dependencies which weren't present on my
system.  They are detected and used by chrony's `configure` script if
available and unused if not (e.g. chronyc can use either editline or
readline or neither, and if NSS is unavailable then chronyd gets built
without secure hash support).  What's the best practice here - should
I simply specify `configure` options to disable all these features for
minimal dependencies, or make them all optionally available via
PACKAGECONFIG?

Thanks Koen, I will put out a V2 patch shortly that fixes those paths
as well as the ones in the SysVinit and systemd scripts.  I'm a little
surprised there isn't a more general way to do this since it must come
up a lot.

This is my first attempt to contribute to yocto/openembedded, so any
and all feedback (stylistic or otherwise) would be greatly
appreciated.
