Description Daniel S. Haischt 2006-03-05 20:49:28 UTC
The following patch adds Zeroconf support to time-admin. After applying this
patch the list of available servers will contain servers that are announced via
Zeroconf. Currently there exists a patch for the ISC NTP server, to make it
Zeroconf capable. See...

 -> https://ntp.isc.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=578

At ...

 -> http://www.avahi.org/wiki/AdministrativeAvahiApplication

...you will see the patch after it was applied to gnome-system-tools.

In the latest patch for ntpd(8) you posted on ntp.isc.org you changed the service name to _ntp._udp (from _ntp._tcp), I think you want to update this here aswell.

Zeroconf support for time-admin

Fixed wrong SRV record types (_ntp._tcp <> _ntp._udp)

You may want to change this ("Copyright (C) 2000-2001 Ximian, Inc.") in new files to something more appropriate.

Also a quick look spotted this:
in time_avahi.c functon avahi_client_callback, where does it get the state variable?

I think that Avahi has superceded Howl and Bonjour already (more systems supported + it has better licencing), so when it is detected it should be set as default.
Comment 5 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2009-07-26 10:48:39 UTC
Daniel, do you confirm your patch is still interesting to get in the g-s-t? If you update it so that it applies to git HEAD, I'll commit it. Thanks for that nice piece of code!
Comment 6 André Klapper 2012-11-24 20:27:54 UTC
According to its developer(s), gnome-system-tools is not under active development anymore. Functionality has been mostly integrated into GNOME Control Center / "[System] Settings".

It is unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel
free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility
for active development again.
