Comment 10 for bug 1504657

well, we currently dont have ntpd/ntpdate installed at all, time syncing is done by systemd-timesyncd. what i want to provide as first stop-gap is that a manufacturer can provide his own ntp snap bundled with the image and for this timesyncd needs to be disabled (that covers simons use-case above).

additionally i planned to add the ability to configure time servers ...

i didnt think about "auto" though, since that makes our existing service management implementation more complex but will try to come up with something here.

we should not call the config option ntp to not add confusion about the used technology though.
