Branch: pkgsrc-2008Q2, Version: 1.23, Package name: chrony-1.23, Maintainer: hannken

Chrony is a pair of programs for maintaining the accuracy of computer
clocks.

The reference time can be derived from either Network Time Protocol
(NTP) servers (preferred), or wristwatch-and-keyboard (via chronyc).
The main source of information about the Network Time Protocol is
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp.

It is designed so that it can work on computers which only have
intermittent access to reference sources, for example computers which
use a dial-up account to access the Internet. Of course, it will work
on computers with permanent connections too.

Chronyd can also operate as an RFC1305-compatible NTP server and peer.

   Log message:
   Update to 1.23 and fix coredump on NetBSD 4.0 and later.

   The changes in version 1.23 are

       * Support for MIPS, x86_64, sparc, alpha, arm, FreeBSD
       * Fix serious sign-extension error in handling IP addresses
       * RTC support can be excluded at compile time
       * Make sources gcc-4 compatible
       * Fix various compiler warnings
       * Handle fluctuations in peer distance better.
       * Fixed handling of stratum zero.
       * Fix various problems for 64-bit systems
       * Flush chronyc output streams after each command, to allow it to be
       driven through pipes
       * Manpage improvements

   The changes in version 1.21 are

       * Don't include Linux kernel header files any longer : allows chrony to
         compile on recent distros.
       * Stop trying to use RTC if continuous streams of error messages would
         occur (Linux with HPET).
