ntp: upgrade to 4.2.8

2014-12-29T19:48:20+00:00

* Upgrade to 4.2.8 which fixes several security issues, including CVE-2014-9293, CVE-2014-9294, CVE-2014-9295, and CVE-2014-9296. For more details please see: https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/advisories/ICSA-14-353-01A * LIC_FILES_CHKSUM changed due to a number of copyright year and patch list changes; nothing material about the license text changed. * This version moves a number of binaries from sbindir to bindir; there's supposed to be a configure option --with-locfile=legacy to use the old layout but it does not seem to work. I guess we'll just have to live with the change. * Drop patches which are no longer applicable. * Merge inc file into recipe; there were too many changes required to the inc file in this version and it's unlikely it was much use split out in any case. * Move remaining files in files/ to ntp/ Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa Signed-off-by: Joe MacDonald

ntp: add sntp.service for sntp package

2014-11-04T19:56:08+00:00

This solves the following warning: lib32-ntp-4.2.6p5: lib32-ntp: Files/directories were installed but not shipped /lib/systemd/system/sntp.service [installed-vs-shipped] Signed-off-by: Chong Lu Signed-off-by: Joe MacDonald

ntp: create and package ntp home directory

2014-10-14T09:48:58+00:00

This allows the base recipe and bbappends to reference persistent mutable state such as a drift file. Signed-off-by: Peter A. Bigot Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa

ntp: add deterministic support for KPPS interface

2014-09-01T09:37:12+00:00

ntp checks for presence of sys/timepps.h to determine whether the kernel supports the RFC 2783 KPPS interface. Under Linux the pps-tools package installs this header. Without this feature the ATOM clock driver does not work, and other drivers like NMEA have reduced precision. Remove the feature non-determinism and increase ntpd capabilities by adding an explicit dependency. See: http://doc.ntp.org/4.2.6/kernpps.html Signed-off-by: Peter A.

ntp: re-enable server debugging and control by PACKAGECONFIG

2014-09-01T09:37:11+00:00

The description in a previous patch to disable debugging is incorrect. Although the option is default-enabled in configure.ac, configure does respect the option that disables it. In ntp 4.2.7 the option code is refactored to ntp_debug.m4 and has an effect in sntp as well. Adding --disable-debugging to the top-level configure options overrides the default for both 4.2.6 and 4.2.7 without patching the distribution. Make the selection explicit and configurable, but restore the historical default. Absence of debugging capability in the server makes it difficult to validate complex configurations.

ntp: fix CVE-2013-5211

2014-08-21T19:35:05+00:00

The monlist feature in ntp_request.c in ntpd in NTP before 4.2.7p26 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via forged (1) REQ_MON_GETLIST or (2) REQ_MON_GETLIST_1 requests, as exploited in the wild in December 2013.

ntp: Disable debugging by default

2014-08-21T19:35:04+00:00

There is a problem in configure.ac file that whether or not '--enable-debugging' is specified in configure cmdline, debugging is always enabled. We should disable ntp debugging by default. Signed-off-by: Xufeng Zhang Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa

ntp: fix hardcode to /usr/bin/perl

2014-04-25T01:07:46+00:00

This patch properly uses the path variables and fixes ntptrace and ntp-wait, just in case perl is not installed with the hardcode path. Signed-off-by: Rahat Mahbub Signed-off-by: Wenzong Fan Signed-off-by: Joe MacDonald

ntp : Add cap to default PACKAGECONFIG options.

2014-04-25T00:39:15+00:00

If ntp is built without libcap, it refuses to start with the following message: Starting ntpd: /usr/sbin/ntpd: The ``user'' option has been disabled -- built without --enable-clockctl or --enable-linuxcaps ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.6p5 USAGE: ntpd [ - [] | --[{=| }] ]... By adding cap to the PACKAGECONFIG the default runs. In the future, someone could add an option for using clockctl. Signed-off-by: Philip Balister Signed-off-by: Joe MacDonald

ntp: Moving relevant files from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin

2014-03-14T12:51:45+00:00

"--with-binsubdir" controls whether we use bin_PROGRAMS or sbin_PROGRAMS while installing executable files in ntp Makefile, in order to install all the relevant files in /usr/sbin instead of /usr/bin, we can pass "--with-binsubdir=sbin" in ntp configure cmdline. Accordingly, updating the path for the files which are contained in rpm packages. Signed-off-by: Xufeng Zhang Signed-off-by: Joe MacDonald
