chrony: add provides logic to Makefile

[systemcrash]

This satisfies other packages which might depend on either chrony variant.

E.g. luci interface where either -nts or non variants are acceptable.

Will the non-nts variant be installed when the user or another package requires "chrony", or will it be selected randomly between chrony and chrony-nts? I think chrony-nts should be installed only when requested to avoid pulling its large dependencies.

Maybe it would be safer to call the new provide "chrony-any" and use that in the luci app?

Not unreasonable. There's the flag DEFAULT_VARIANT:=1 which is now set for the non-NTS variant.

Ok, looks good to me. Thanks.

I assigned it to myself because it doesn't seem to me that it would be completely right and there's no need to keep reminding about it. I have it in the queue. :-) A little patience, please. I'd say this isn't as urgent as some things, for example fixing Python packages.

Solution: ban python from openwrt :D
