This bug was fixed in the package chrony - 4.7-1ubuntu1
---------------
chrony (4.7-1ubuntu1) questing; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian experimental. Remaining changes: (LP: #2110435)
- 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
+ d/control: add new dependency libcap2-bin for capsh (usually
installed anyway, but make them explicit to be sure).
+ d/chrony.default: new option SYNC_IN_CONTAINER to not fall
back (Default off)
+ d/chronyd-starter.sh: wrapper to handle special cases in
containers and if CAP_SYS_TIME is missing. Effectively allows
running the NTP server in containers on a default installation
and avoid failing to sync time (or if allowed to sync, avoid
multiple containers fighting over it by accident).
+ d/install: Make chrony-starter.sh available on install.
+ d/docs, d/README.container: Provide documentation about the
handling of this case.
- d/rules, d/chrony.examples: Ship restricted service as an example
not installed to the system for use. (See LP #2051028)
- d/chrony.conf: remove Debian NTP pool
- Install Ubuntu NTP sources in
/etc/chrony/sources.d/ubuntu-ntp-pools.sources, gated on a low priority
(default yes) debconf question (LP #2048876):
+ d/templates: Add debconf question to customize installation of
/etc/chrony/sources.d/ubuntu-ntp-pools.sources
+ d/install, d/ubuntu-ntp-pools.sources: Install ubuntu-ntp-pools.sources
in /usr/share/chrony
+ d/control: add dependency on debconf
+ d/postinst: handle Ubuntu pools via debconf and ucf
+ d/postrm: handle Ubuntu pools via debconf and ucf
+ d/NEWS: Add information about default time sources moving out from
chrony.conf to /etc/chrony/sources.d/ubuntu-ntp-pools.sources.
+ d/chrony.config: debconf script to handle Ubuntu pools
+ d/t/control, d/t/default-ubuntu-sources-behavior: new test to check the
debconf behavior
- Use Ubuntu NTS servers by default (LP #2084585):
+ d/conf.d/ubuntu-nts.conf: refer to the CA used to sign the NTS bootstrap
server
+ d/nts-bootstrap-{,staging}-ubuntu.crt: CA certificate for the NTS
bootstrap servers
+ d/install: install the NTS bootstrap CAs
+ d/ubuntu-ntp-pools.sources: use NTS by default
+ d/t/default-ubuntu-sources-behavior: update tests for NTS support
+ d/NEWS: add news entry about the NTS change
* Drop Changes:
- d/t/helper-functions: Do not fail if backup does not exist
[Fixed in 4.7-1]
- d/tests: Clean up after __no_system_clock_control()
[Fixed in 4.7-1]
- d/chrony.service: Do not run inside containers by default (LP 2111535)
[Fixed in 4.7-1]
- d/t/default-ubuntu-sources-behavior: Adopt to upstream container handling.
[Squashed into "new test to check the debconf behavior"]
* Add Changes:
- d/chrony.service: Allow real chronyd to send READY=1 via sd_notify in
place of the chronyd-starter.sh wrapper.
- d/usr.sbin.chronyd: Grant access to NOTIFY_SOCKET in AppArmor profile.
- d/chrony.conf: Document non-NTS sources from DHCP (LP: #2115565)
chrony (4.7-1) experimental; urgency=medium
[ Vincent Blut ]
* Import upstream version 4.7 (LP: #2002910):
- Please see /usr/share/doc/chrony/NEWS.gz for the release notes.
* Merge branch 'debian/unstable' into 'debian/latest'.
* debian/copyright:
- Update copyright years.
* debian/tests/upstream-simulation-test-suite:
- Update clknetsim version.
[ Lukas Märdian ]
* debian/chrony.service:
- Do not run inside containers by default. (LP: #2111535)
* debian/tests/helper-functions:
- Introduce '__cleanup()' function.
chrony (4.7~pre1-1) experimental; urgency=medium
* Import upstream version 4.7-pre1:
- Please see /usr/share/doc/chrony/NEWS.gz for the release notes.
* debian/chrony.service:
- Switch service unit to use Type=notify.
* debian/copyright:
- Add an entry for refclock_rtc.c.
* debian/patches/:
- Refresh debianize-chronyd-restricted-unit-file.patch.
* debian/tests/upstream-simulation-test-suite:
- Update clknetsim version.
chrony (4.6.1-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* debian/patches/:
- Add conf:_fix_sourcedir_reloading_to_not_multiply_sources.patch. Thanks
to MichaelR <[email protected]> for the report. (Closes: #1106875)
chrony (4.6.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Vincent Blut ]
* debian/chrony.conf:
- Move the confdir directive at the end of the configuration file. This
should prevent directives defined in /etc/chrony/conf.d/ from being
overridden by corresponding directives in chrony.conf. (Closes: #1073865)
* debian/chrony.service:
- Drop 'After=network.target'. First and foremost, the network.target unit
doesn't guarantee that any network interfaces are configured or
operational. Furthermore, chronyd is perfectly able to operate without
network or DNS functionality notably when used with a hardware reference
clock as a time source.
- Do not pull time-sync.target nor order chrony.service before it. Services
pulling and being ordered before time-sync.target must ensure that the
system clock has been completely synchronized and thus typically guarantee
an accurate clock. This can't be assumed right after chrony.service has
finished starting.
* debian/control:
- Support seccomp facility on loong64.
- Bump Standards-Version to 4.7.2 (no changes required).
* debian/copyright:
- Update copyright year for debian/*.
* debian/rules:
- Revert "d/rules: Disable seccomp on loong64".
* debian/usr.sbin.chronyd:
- Relax rule regarding temperature sensors. (Closes: #1084841)
[ Joachim Kross ]
* debian/{control,postinst,chrony.conf}:
- Minor textual updates.
