Hi Freek,

In Raspbian I noticed a packet always included in the image called fake- hwclock. I used the tar.gz file together with a .spec file to generate this packet for openSUSE distributions for systems without a Real Time Clock.
The description is: Some machines don't have a working realtime clock (RTC) unit, or no driver for the hardware that does exist. fake-hwclock is a simple set of scripts to save the kernel's current clock periodically (including at shutdown) and restore it at boot so that the system clock keeps at least close to realtime. This will stop some of the problems that may be caused by a system believing it has travelled in time back to 1970, such as needing to perform file system checks at every boot.
On top of this, use of NTP is still recommended to deal with the fake clock "drifting" while the hardware is halted or rebooting.
Hope this is accepted to be included.
You forgot to mention the link or request number you want us to accept.
Cheers, Andreas
