[Roger Leigh]
* Improve handling of the hardware clock
- Remove redundant hwclockfirst.sh and hwclock.sh. The reason for
this redundant script existing (/etc/localtime not being present
until after /usr was mounted AFAICT) no longer exists. The
hwclock script has been adjusted to run before checkroot.
Closes: #660365
- Migrate existing
UTC= setting in /etc/default/rcS to UTC/LOCAL in /etc/adjtime.
This removes needless duplication of the setting, and prevents the
behaviour of hwclock being overridden, and its configuration
overwritten every shutdown. Closes: #554345
- The hwclock init scripts now use /etc/adjtime instead of the
--utc and --localtime options (based on the UTC setting).
- Add /etc/default/hwclock and hwclock(5) which permit
configuration without editing the initscript, and also document
all the undocumented variables used by the scripts.
Closes: #481357, #659654
- The udev hwclock-set script runs hwclock --tzset unconditionally
in all cases (it's a no-op for UTC).
- The user running "hwclock --systohc (--utc|--localtime)" is now
handled correctly. The clock state is recorded in /etc/adjtime
and correctly handled on system restart. This means the UTC
setting in /etc/default/rcS doesn't create problems by requiring
two separate changes (changing the UTC setting and running
hwclock) to do the same thing.
- Comment out the now-obsolete UTC= setting in /etc/default/rcS,
with a reference to /etc/adjtime and hwclock(8).
- systemd uses /etc/adjtime as for hwclock to store the hardware
clock UTC/LOCAL configuration. This change means there's a
single place to store the hardware clock configuration for all
init systems.
