Changelog
chrony (3.5-5ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #1859969). Remaining changes:
- d/chrony.conf: use ubuntu ntp pool and server (LP 1744664 1754358)
- Set -x as default if unable to set time (e.g. in containers) (LP 1589780)
Chrony is a single service which acts as both NTP client (i.e. syncing the
local clock) and NTP server (i.e. providing NTP services to the network),
and that is both desired and expected in the vast majority of cases.
But in containers syncing the local clock is usually impossible, but this
shall not break the providing of NTP services to the network.
To some extent this makes chrony's default config more similar to 'ntpd',
which complained in syslog but still provided NTP server service in those
cases.
+ debian/chrony.service: allow the service to run without CAP_SYS_TIME
+ debian/control: add new dependency libcap2-bin for capsh (usually
installed anyway, but make them explicit to be sure).
+ debian/chrony.default: new option SYNC_IN_CONTAINER to not fall back
(Default off) [fixed a minor typo in the comment in this update]
+ debian/chronyd-starter.sh: wrapper to handle special cases in containers
and if CAP_SYS_TIME is missing. Effectively allows to run NTP server in
containers on a default installation and avoid failing to sync time (or
if allowed to sync, avoid multiple containers to fight over it by
accident).
+ debian/install: make chrony-starter.sh available on install.
+ debian/docs, debian/README.container: provide documentation about the
handling of this case.
* Dropped changes:
- d/t/control: destructive_system_tests only work on amd64 and s390x right
now [fixed by backporting fixes from upstream in 3.5-5 ]
- d/t/upstream-simulation-test-suite: ignore warnings on stderr while
running clksim make
[ in Debian 3.5-5 ]
chrony (3.5-5) unstable; urgency=medium
* debian/control:
- Bump standard-version to 4.4.1 (no change required).
* debian/install:
- Install 50-chrony.list in /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d.
* debian/ntp-units.d/50-chrony.list:
- Allow timedated to interact with chronyd.
* debian/patches/*:
- Cherry-pick upstream commits to better manage RTCs that don't support
interrupts. This fixes an issue exhibited when a specific upstream system
test is run on the Ubuntu CI. Thank to Christian Ehrhardt for working
with Miroslav Lichvar to address this problem.
* debian/tests/control:
- Use @builddeps@ as a test dependency for upstream_system_tests.
[ Christian Ehrhardt ]
* debian/tests/upstream-simulation-test-suite:
- Redirect stderr on make call to stdout. On some architectures (e.g. armhf)
the clksim tests compile but throw some warnings. (MR: !2)
