Hi,

Could you please accept chrony 1.30-2+deb8u2 in the next jessie point 
release? It fixes three issues of different magnitudes.

The most important one is the fix for CVE-2016-1567 though it didn’t 
warrant a DSA.

The next one might sound probably not important enough to be fixed in a 
stable point release but it has some nasty consequences. We are 
mistakenly deleting the content of /var/lib/chrony on package removal.  
This directory contains the driftfile and the measurement history for 
each time source. The former file has a particularly important role, it 
stores the gain or loss rate of the system clock relative to the RTC 
which could take some time to calculate depending of how crappy the RTC 
is so it would be definitely better if we could avoid to delete it each 
time chrony is upgraded or installed from Config-Files state.

To conclude, the last fix revises the postrotate script from the 
logrotate configuration file. It suffers from two issues, the first one 
is that it assumes the commandkey directive from chrony.conf takes ID 1, 
that’s not necessarily true!
Also, as leading tabs aren’t ignored in the heredoc, the delimiting 
identifier is passed to chronyc option causing some noise (Unrecognized 
command) in logs. To fix that issue, I could have appended a minus sign 
to “<<” but that wouldn’t have solved the other the other one, 
consequently I decided to just make use of the dedicated option provided 
by chronyc to fix both problems.

Voilà, hope that’s receivable!

Have a good day,
Vincent
