Done, it is public available via
'git clone http://hkr.at/git/chrony/.git'
I dropped my old workarounds from 1.23-tree and I will see what will
happen on my tests.
I am not sure if it usable or not. That are small fixes/workarounds to
support substation embedded devices.
BTW, the NTP server from one device is still broken and does not work
properly. The reason is a failure of test6.
Source: ntp_core.c
/* Test 6 checks that (i) the remote clock is synchronised (ii) the
transmit timestamp is not before the time it was synchronized
(clearly bogus if it is), and (iii) that it was not synchronised
too long ago
*/
Maybe a next hack is on the way.
I will keep you in touch for any new findings.
Nice greetings,
Harald
