[arm-allstar] Rpi2 - ArchLinux OS Update

[Chan, Wilson]

Found it! This will do since we normally sync to our gps time syncs vs the public ntp servers. Thanks!

/etc/system/timesyncd.conf

Hi,

You are correct, ntpd isn't installed. However, systemd-timesyncd is installed and accomplishes similar goals--at least from a ntp client perspective.

...So, unless you're wanting to run a local time SERVER (which other local client could query, installing ntpd is probably redundant.

Are you needing the RPi2 to perform as a local time SERVER?

OS and I get the package not found. Seems that Pacman is referencing an older build that is not on the mirror anymore. I normally just do the following on all my other ArchLinux builds (pacman -Syu |
pacman-db-upgrade) but that apparently updates a bunch of core packages that breaks the Allstar build. Any thoughts?

It is probable that dahdi will not recompile after an update nor will Asterisk. If you have done an update and it is broken then you will have to reinstall the original image which is a lot easier than trying to get it to compile!
