For a long time, the Solaris support in chrony wasn't tested on a real
Solaris system, but on illumos/OpenIndiana, which was forked from
OpenSolaris when it was discontinued in 2010.
While Solaris and illumos might have not diverged enough to make a
difference for chrony, replace Solaris in the documentation with illumos
to make it clear which system is actually supported by the chrony
project.
Stop trying to maintain a list of individual contributions. Just list
the contributors. For tracking individual changes in the source code
there is git.
Split and convert the manual into four AsciiDoc documents, a document
about installation and three documents in the manpage type for
chrony.conf, chronyd and chronyc. The minimal man pages that were
maintained separately from the manual are replaced by full man pages
generated from AsciiDoc. Info files will no longer be provided.
Some parts of the manual are rewritten, updated or trimmed. The
introduction chapter is partially merged with README. The chapter about
typical operating scenarios is included in the chrony.conf man page.
Leap second status is accepted and forwarded to clients if majority
of selectable sources agree. The actual insertion/deletion is supported
only on Linux now.
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.
