There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not a fan about the caching, and lack of tests. But the work continues. Good beginning!

This patch adds a background gps monitor to statd because the gpspipe program, normally used to interface with gpsd, slows down access to the operational datastore with *seconds*. This background monitor is not load bearing for how chrony accesses the gps + nmea information from gpsd, this is handled separately in SHM. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
