Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the extended header to avoid any doubt. I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

the RTC in the local timezone is not fully supported and will

create various problems with time zone changes and daylight

saving adjustments. If at all possible, keep the RTC in UTC

<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. Controls whether

network time synchronization is active and enabled (if

|
|
not affect the state of any other, unrelated network time
|
|
synchronization services that might be installed on the
|
|
system. This command is hence mostly equivalent to:
|
|
<command>systemctl enable --now

systemd-timesyncd.service</command> and <command>systemctl

disable --now systemd-timesyncd.service</command>, but is

<para>Note that even if time synchronization is turned off

strictly speaking,

<filename>systemd-timesyncd.service</filename> does more than

just network time synchronization, as it ensures a monotonic

clock on systems without RTC even if no network is
