From fa1fefb2bc1be8fe81fedf1bb69d8a6b79b3518c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Hubbs Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2011 21:37:51 -0600 Subject: add option to disable setting the system clock on boot for linux systems This commit adds the clock_hctosys option which is used to skip setting the system clock on boot and can be used with a modern linux kernel which has the CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS option set to y. I would like to thank Dimitris Mandalidis for the report and for the patch to baselayout-1 on which my changes to openrc are based.
