Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Tags: d-i Hello,
I think that a modern OS should take care of time synchronisation without requiring user intervention. As far as I can see, Debian doesn't install any kind of NTP client by default. (I'd guess that it falls back behind Mac and Windows in this regard. Even my mobile phone synchronises time automatically.) Thus, I'd suggest to install as part of the base system an NTP package (eg. ntp, openntpd, chrony) configured to act as client only. This issue has already been discussed nine years ago, however I believe that user's expectations have changed through the passage of time and thus a fresh look at the topic may be warranted. http://bugs.debian.org/397649 Best, Thiemo Nagel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
