linuxptp-1.8-5.el7

The linuxptp packages provide Precision Time Protocol (PTP) implementation for Linux according to IEEE standard 1588 for Linux. The dual design goals are to provide a robust implementation of the standard and to use the most relevant and modern Application Programming Interfaces (API) offered by the Linux kernel.

Users of linuxptp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.

Fixed bug(s):
* With this update, you can now specify a bond interface in the active-backup mode to be used by the ptp4l application. As a result, ptp4l uses the clock of the active interface from the bond as the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) clock and can switch to another interface of the bond in case of a failover. Additionally, the phc2sys utility in the automatic mode (the -a option) can synchronize the system clock to the PTP clock of the active interface when operating as a PTP slave and the PTP clock to the system clock when operating as a PTP master.
