I've been working -- painfully slowly -- on some kernel mods which keep true UTC in the kernel (accepting it from NTP), and do the smearing when user mode code asks for a time_t. I'm not even adjusting the steering of the system clock; avoiding unnecessary perturbations there is part of the goal. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
