Changes

  • Add support for IPv6, thanks to Dieter Ries
  • Behavior change: -L now required with -n, otherwise stdout is used. This to conform with de facto UNIX daemon behavior.
  • Convert to GNU Configure & Build System, with proper --enable-opts for all optional features, like precision and mini NTP client
  • Relocate files to doc/ and src/ subdirectories
  • Reindent to Linux kernel coding style and add CONTRIBIBUTING.md to help newcomers with basic project info
  • Cleanup README and HOWTO, move to Markdown format for comfortable presentation on GitHub
  • Update and refactor ntpclient.8 and adjtimex.1 into mdoc format
  • Move change log from README to separate CHANGELOG file in a format proposed by http://keepachangelog.com/
  • Merge in changes from 2015_365 by Larry
  • Add missing COPYING file, GNU license should be included
  • Add systemd unit file for running ntpclient as a daemon
  • Add initial Debian packaging to be able to create .deb files

Fixes

  • Massive cleanup and build fixes to to mini-ntpclient.c from DD-WRT
  • Fix compiler warnings for unused variables when ENABLE_DEBUG is unset
  • Fix build error when building without ENABLE_SYSLOG support
  • Fixes for non-GNU libc systems, replace %m and __progname
