#50121: submission: chrony NTP server ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: florian@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: haspatch maintainer | Port: chrony ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Most distributions today use chrony as NTP server because it performs better on systems that do not run continuously or on systems which are only temporarily connected to the internet (e.g. notebooks or dial-up connections) whereas ntpd needs regular polling of the reference to work well. See http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/faq.html and http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/comparison.html for more. This submission includes a helper application which I designed to monitor the network reachability and which tells chronyd when the internet link is available or not using the mechanism described at http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/manual.html#Infrequent-connection. A graphical front end which can show the overall server performance (tracking) and the state of individual remote time servers is available at http://whatroute.net/chronycontrol.html This submission contains the following files: {{{ sysutils/chrony/Portfile sysutils/chrony/files/chrony-netchange.in sysutils/chrony/files/chrony-netchanged.c sysutils/chrony/files/chrony.conf.in }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50121> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
