Re: How to use OpenNTPD
 

For some reason I never heard of chrony before, but I see there have been debs posted for the N770 on TMO a long time ago.

It triggered me to compile the latest version (1.27-pre1), without nss (cryptography).

You can find the result here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42147901/chrony_1.27-pre1.zip

Content:
chronyd: the daemon itself, which will run in the background.
chronyc: the command line interface

It is just the two executables, no config or startup scripts. NTP servers etc go into the config file /etc/chrony.conf

For what I have seen in 10 minutes in the syslog it seems to do its job well. Google is your friend if you want to play with it more...

Edit: p.s. this is compiled for Maemo 5 to be clear...

Re: How to use OpenNTPD
 

Did you have to do anything differing from the usual build process? Ideally, this would become a .deb and source .deb on rzr's repository.

Re: How to use OpenNTPD
 

I only excluded nss, as I could not find the proper dev package for it.

chrony could become a proper package, if some time is spend on config files and init scripts.

One could just take Debian's initscripts and conffiles.

Well, maybe it's enough to just fiddle with the source .deb's Depends: and Build-Depends: lines. If not, I presume that ./configure --disable-nss did the trick?

Re: How to use OpenNTPD
 

Yep, I used the "--disable-nss".
The initscripts would need a little modifications (upstart related I guess). You are a N9 user, right? I don't know the details of that device.
