Estimated required disk space:  10 MB

6.61.1. FHS compliance notes

The FHS recommends that we use /var/lib/hwclock as the location of the adjtime file, instead of the usual /etc. To make hwclock, which is part of the util-linux package, FHS-compliant, run the following.

cp hwclock/hwclock.c{,.backup} &&
sed 's%etc/adjtime%var/lib/hwclock/adjtime%' \
    hwclock/hwclock.c.backup > hwclock/hwclock.c &&
mkdir -p /var/lib/hwclock

6.61.2. Installation of Util-linux

Install Util-linux by running the following commands:

./configure &&
make HAVE_SLN=yes &&
make HAVE_SLN=yes install

HAVE_SLN=yes: We don't build this program because it already was installed by Glibc.
