There is a new pull request by dreamtigers against master on the void-packages repository

https://github.com/dreamtigers/void-packages master

New package: fake-hwclock-0.11
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, such as needing to perform filesystem checks at every
boot.

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.

++This program was originally written for Debian, which uses an init system
++different from \fBrunit\fP. In order to load the time on startup, the system
++administrator must add the command \fBfake-hwclock load\fP to
++\fI/etc/rc.local\fP. To facilitate this process, two example snippets are
++provided in \fI/usr/share/examples/fake-hwclock/\fP. They can be used like:
++
++.nf
++cat /usr/share/examples/fake-hwclock/rc.local | sudo tee -a /etc/rc.local
++.fi
++
++To save the time before shutdown, substitute both \fIrc.local\fP to
++\fIrc.shutdown\fP in the previous command, or manually add \fBfake-hwclock
++save\fP to \fI/etc/rc.shutdown\fP.
