tags 541806 + patch thanks I had a look at this issue, and made a patch proposal to fix it. To make sure the package is installable also when no syslog server is installed, I recommend to use a soft dependency on $syslog. Also, there is no init.d script in Debian that relates to the existing time-daemon provide, so I recommend it is simply renamed to chrony to avoid name conflicts and ensure a predictable provide from this script.
The script need /usr/ mounted, so it should depend on $remote_fs, and I assume the earlier proposals about starting after the network is up and after the DNS server is operational is a good idea, and kept these as optional dependencies. Please apply this patch to the package to ensure a better start position in the boot sequence. :) diff -ur chrony-1.23/debian/init.d chrony-1.23-pere/debian/init.d --- chrony-1.23/debian/init.d 2010-06-12 19:30:07.000000000 +0200 +++ chrony-1.23-pere/debian/init.d 2010-06-12 19:32:02.000000000 +0200 @@ -6,12 +6,14 @@ # Modified for chrony by John Hasler <jhas...@debian.org> 1998-2008 ### BEGIN INIT INFO -# Provides: time-daemon -# Required-Start: $local_fs -# Required-Stop: $local_fs +# Provides: chrony +# Required-Start: $remote_fs +# Required-Stop: $remote_fs +# Should-Start: $syslog $network $named +# Should-Stop: $syslog $network $named # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 -# Short-Description: Controls chronyd NTP time daemon +# Short-Description: Controls chronyd NTP time daemon # Description: Chronyd is the NTP time daemon in the Chrony package # ### END INIT INFO Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
