The minsamples and maxsamples directives now set the default value,
which can be overriden for individual sources in the server/peer/pool
and refclock directives.
A new option can be now used in the pool directive: maxsources sets the
maximum number of sources that can be used from the pool, the default
value is 4.
On start, when the pool name is resolved, chronyd will add up to 16
sources, one for each resolved address. When the number of sources from
which at least one valid reply was received reaches maxsources, the
other sources will be removed.
- normalize command line before parsing
- compare whole words
- check for missing/extra arguments in config parsing
- use strdup for string allocation
- share code for reporting syntax errors
- avoid using function pointers
- cleanup the code a bit
Require that the ratio of the increase in delay from the minimum one in
the stats data register to the standard deviation of the offsets in the
register is less than maxdelaydevratio or the difference between
measured offset and predicted offset is larger than the increase in
delay. In the allowed delay increase is included also skew and maximum
clock frequency error.
maxdelaydevratio is 10.0 by default.
Instead of following skew changes, adjust polling interval so that the
number of measurements used in the regression algorithm remains close to
a target value. It can be configured with a new polltarget option
(6 by default).
Resolving is retried in increasing intervals (maximum is one hour)
until it succeeds or fails with a non-temporary error.
Unresolved sources are included in the activity report as offline
sources and the online command can be used to retry it immediately.
This could be improved by resolving in a separate thread/process
to avoid blocking.
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.
