Package: task-laptop Version: 3.31+deb8u1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,When I didn't have 'ntp' installed on my laptop, I found that the clock drifted significantly from the true time. (It was almost four minutes fast when I noticed it last fall!)To help other Debian users avoid this, I think adding ntp to the list of recommended packages would be helpful. I've attached a patch that I think does that.Thanks, Nathaniel Beaver -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores)Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8)Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages task-laptop depends on: ii anacron 2.3-23 ii tasksel 3.31+deb8u1 Versions of packages task-laptop recommends: ii acpi 1.7-1 ii avahi-autoipd 0.6.31-5 ii bluetooth 5.23-2 ii iw 3.17-1 ii powertop 2.6.1-1 ii wireless-tools 30~pre9-8 ii wpasupplicant 2.3-1+deb8u3 task-laptop suggests no packages. -- no debconf information>From 5a38aa3aaddabc453d773232c6e32da7b50c5ee1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathaniel Beaver <nathanielmbeaver@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 11:23:29 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add ntp to prevent clock drift on laptops. --- debian/control | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control index c87cb53..a5f57ab 100644 --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -294,6 +294,7 @@ Depends: ${misc:Depends}, Recommends: avahi-autoipd, bluetooth, + ntp, powertop, # wireless networking tools iw, -- 2.1.4
