[OpenWrt-Devel] busybox ntpd vs rdate (r28612)

[Hanno Schupp]

Hi Felix,

I understand the rationale of the change from busybox to ntpd in
standard. Does that mean though that the ntpd package has to be chosen
in the .config file or is ntpd really integrated into busybox, making
the ntpd client package obsolete?
Please advise.

Regards

Hanno Schupp

I am not Felix but as I did the change, let me answer here.

No.

 or is ntpd really integrated into busybox, making

Yes, unless you need a full featured NTP suite for a particular reason,
in this case installing full ntpd will remove the busybox one in
postinstall so that they do not clash - this is similar to how BusyBox
wget vs. GNU wget is handled.

If I understood you correctly, it is enough to just use the busybox ntpd and 
no ntpclient package needs to be selected separately?


Is there any need for luci-app-ntpc in the build or can it also be left out?
Is the needed config built-in into /admin_system/system.lua as suggested by 
LuCI check-in 7798?
