This is the last call for comments for the review of debconf templates for adjtimex. The reviewed templates will be sent on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 to the package maintainer as a bug report and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. --
Template: adjtimex/run_daemon Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Should adjtimex be run at installation and at every startup? Running adjtimex at system startup will set the kernel time parameters to the values in /etc/default/adjtimex. . You should not choose this option if you just want to use adjtimex to inspect the current parameters. Template: adjtimex/compare_rtc Type: boolean Default: true #flag:comment:2 # Translators: do not translate "tick" and "frequency" _Description: Run adjtimexconfig when adjtimex is installed or upgraded? The adjtimexconfig script will use adjtimex to find values for the kernel variables "tick" and "frequency" that will make the system clock approximately agree with the hardware clock (also known as the CMOS clock). It then saves these values in the configuration file /etc/default/adjtimex so the settings will be restored on every boot, when /etc/init.d/adjtimex runs. . The script takes 70 seconds to run, so running it for every upgrade may be a waste of time. Alternatively, you can run adjtimexconfig manually when needed, or determine the kernel variables by using other methods and set them manually in /etc/default/adjtimex.

Description: kernel time variables configuration utility
This package provides a utility to manipulate the kernel time variables. For
a machine connected to the Internet, or equipped with a precision
oscillator or radio clock, the best way to keep the system clock
accurate is using NTP (Network Time Protocol). However, for a standalone or intermittently
connected machine, you may use adjtimex instead to at least correct
for systematic drift. It can optionally adjust the system
clock using the CMOS clock as a reference, and can log times for
long-term estimation of drift rates.
