Terabithia or compile

I downloaded the source rpm and installed it.  The spec file for building
the RPMs contains this:

     %if %{without trunk}
     %if 0%{?rhel} <= 7
     Requires:       ntp
     %endif
     %endif

So, yeah, it builds into the binary RPMs the requirement to pull in ntp.
I'm not sure if that can be made into a conditional, to require ntp OR
chrony.

That's odd. I did not do that to me.

I used to build from source, but for our CentOS 7 and 8 servers I have

using the Terabithia RPMs with no problems. The downside is that, like

Hunter mentioned, I have subsequently applied some local patches - sent
to the
list - so that meant rebuilding the RPMs.

I'm now looking at the Terabithia package for the first time in years.
My first reaction is, wth?

Installing the xymon package on my server has disabled chronyd and
installed (but not started) ntpd. why?! If I hadn't read through the
list of packages it was going to grab, and understand the significance
of this one, I'd be going blindly forward with an un-synchronized system
clock.

Now I wonder how many other of my services it has disabled or replaced.
I feel like I've just walked into a mine field :(
