Even if the google servers dont provide time that is correct, its good enough to run testcases again. Products however of course shouldnt use it. the ntp pool

the ntp pool made very clear we cannot use them. As i read what is written above google just says the servers are crap but doesnt explicitly deny us to use them. Which is why id like to leave them in place because they are at least googd enough for testing purposes.
Id be willing to take a patch that adds a big warning to configure if the default ntp server to use is not set when invoking configure. People who ignore that warning are then on their own.
sounds like a good enough reason to me

- mrweasel 11y agoI wonder why they can't use ntp pool won't allow Systemd to use them? Maybe it's only for testing purposes that they can't be used. If that's the case, they could maybe ship a product and a testing configuration file?
- SlashmanX 11y ago> Open Source projects are of course particularly welcome to use the pool in their default setup, but we ask that you get a vendor zone when using the pool as a default configuration. systemd are perfectly entitled to use ntp pool as defaults.

- why-el 11y agoAs long as they get a vendor zone, that is. LP is against this, since he does not consider systemd to be a vendor.
- izacus 11y agoIt's probably also worth noting that Debian's systemd it (thankfully) configured to debian pool.org servers by default.
