libexecdir is now a dedicated directory and empty in our ntpd
build. Avoid QA issue of an empty directory not belonging to
anyone. Clean it if it is empty
* the ntpdate cron job turned into
a shell script which now checks
for running timeserver before
updating the time via ntpdate
* install the cron stanza to the
cron.d directory like serval
other packages does
* comment the entry in the old
crontab file when found
Fixes: SYS#1841
As pointed out by Harald the PR is lower than the package
that is already on the device. Bump it to 6 then.
Current:
opkg list_installed | grep ntp
ntp - 4.2.8p1-r5.0
ntp-tickadj - 4.2.8p1-r5.0
ntpdate - 4.2.8p1-r5.0
Import ntp 4.2.8 from meta-networking. Our version has some weird
dependency issues that create build breakages and more.
Remove the pps-tools dependency compared to meta-networking and
leave the ntp.conf as doneby Harald (e.g. drift on /etc and not
in /var...). Now I have not verified the upgrade path but I sadly
merged testing to stable when the ntp changes were comitted on
monday. This means I can't easily test the upgrade.
This new version of ntp has quite a number of changes, e.g.
certain utilities requiring perl, and some programs are now in
/usr/sbin rather than /usr/bin.
