There is an updated pull request by dreamtigers against master on the void-packages repository

https://github.com/dreamtigers/void-packages master
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/15056

New package: fake-hwclock-0.11
Hello! I closed the previous pull request (#14985) and I'm making a new one
(sorry if it's wrong, I'm not used to pull requests) with some fixes so:
1. The template file now passes `xlint`'s test.
2. The service now behaves more like the systemd original one (that is, a
   "oneshot" service)

Thanks to maldridge, pulux, and bobertlo on IRC for their help and guidance!

Brief description of the package:

Save/restore system clock on machines without working RTC hardware.

Some machines don't have a working Real Time Clock (RTC) unit, or no driver for
said hardware. fake-hwclock is a simple set of scripts to save the kernel's
current clock periodically (including at shutdown) and restore it at boot so
that the system clock keeps at least close to the real time. This will stop
some of the problems that may be caused by a system believing it has travelled
in time back to 1970.

This is originally a Debian package, and as Debian uses systemd as it's init
and service manager, most of the init and service instructions were useless for
Void.

I took the liberty of adapting the scripts and patching the manpage with the
instructions to make fake-hwclock execute on boot and shutdown in Void Linux
(or at least distributions that use runit as init), all while being as
faithful to upstream as possible.


A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/15056.patch is attached
