Description Hussam Al-Tayeb 2014-07-21 10:52:44 UTC 
Right now, the "Set date and time automatically" option is greyed if I don't have ntpdate or rdate installed.
Please support systemd-timesyncd too.
It is part of the recent systemd releases and works well as a minimal ntp client.
Perhaps just execute "systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd ; systemctl start systemd-timesyncd" when the user enables 'Set date and time automatically'.

Obviously keep ntpdate/rdate as first choices.

Yep, this module needs someone familiar with the system clock internals and make it work on recent systems.

Add systemd support into the clock KCM as an optional dependency

The current time setting helper is incredibly broken.

It manually tries to run a range of NTP utilities, all of which are
deprecated.

We can just call timedated directly and cut out the middleman as it has
uses polkit anyway.

This is currently an optional dependency, and the original helper still
exists. It makes the code messy, but we have users to support for now.

Detection is done at runtime
