Changelog
chrony (4.2-0ubuntu1) jammy; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian testing (LP: #1946848) and upstream v4.2.
Remaining changes:
- d/chrony.conf: use ubuntu ntp pool and server (LP 1744664 1754358)
- 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
+ debian/control: add new dependency libcap2-bin for capsh (usually
installed anyway, but make them explicit to be sure).
+ debian/chrony.default: new option SYNC_IN_CONTAINER to not fall back
(Default off) [fixed a minor typo in the comment in this update]
+ debian/chronyd-starter.sh: wrapper to handle special cases in containers
and if CAP_SYS_TIME is missing. Effectively allows on to run NTP server
in containers on a default installation and avoid failing to sync time
(or if allowed to sync, avoid multiple containers to fight over it by
accident).
+ debian/install: make chrony-starter.sh available on install.
+ debian/docs, debian/README.container: provide documentation about the
handling of this case.
