Proper time-sync.target support for systemd-timesyncd This package essentially just works around https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5097 systemd.special(7) tells us that "All services where correct time is essential should be ordered after [time-sync.target]". However, systemd-timesyncd allows time-sync.target to be reached before timesyncd has actually synchronized the time. This is because it sends READY=1 as soon as the daemon has initialized, rather that waiting until it has successfully synchronized to an NTP server. It would be trivial to patch timesyncd to wait, but that would introduce some other problems. So, I'm introducing systemd-timesyncd-wait. It is a service that listens for messages from systemd-timesyncd, and blocks until it sees a message indicating that systemd-timesyncd has synchronized the time. # Installation To compile systemd-timesyncd-wait, you will need the following - Go >= 1.4 - GNU Make The only run-time dependencies are systemd (obviously), and the `rm` program. To install, simply grab a copy of the repo, and run `make install`, with any configuration options specified as arguments: make prefix=/usr install Of course, the desired value `prefix=` depends on your system. Arch and Parabola users will be most happy with `prefix=/usr`, Ubuntu Xenial users will want to set `prefix=/`.
