The example spec file was too limited to be recommended for use in any
rpm-based distribution, e.g. it didn't configure chronyd to drop the
root privileges.
Users that want to build a package from the latest source code should
start with the official package of their distribution.
Historically there were plenty of callback based implementations around
ifupdown via /etc/network/if-up and similar. NetworkManager added the
dispatcher [1] feature for such a kind of functionality.
But so far a systemd-networkd (only) systemd had no means to handle those
cases. This is solved by networkd-dispatcher which is currently available
at least in ArchLinux and Ubuntu.
It takes away the responsibility to listen on netlink events in each
application and provides a more classic script-drop-in interface to respond
to networkd events [3].
This commit makes the NM example compatible to be used by NetworkManager
dispatcher as well as by networkd-dispatcher. That way we avoid too much
code duplication and can from now on handle special cases in the
beginning so that the tail can stay commonly used.
After discussion on IRC the current check differs by checking the
argument count (only in NetworkManager), if ever needed we could extend
that to check for known custom environment vars (NetworkManager =>
CONNECTION_UUID; networkd-dispatcher => OperationalState).

When no default route is configured, check each source if it has a
route. If the system has multiple network interfaces, this prevents
setting local NTP servers to offline when they can still be reached over
one of the interfaces.
Use the -h option to force chronyc to use internet socket instead of
Unix domain as the access to the socket may be blocked by SELinux and
trying to open it generates SELinux warnings.
The attached patch adds support for mlockall() as well as the SCHED_FIFO
real-time scheduler. It should result in reduced (and more consistent)
latency. Usage is documented in all the documents.
This is a verbatim copy of the files at that stage of the repository that was
built from the CVS import. It allows future development to see a bit of recent
history, but without carrying around the baggage going back to 1997. If that
is really required, git grafts can be used.
