main/swclock-offset: new package (MR 2191)
Some devices have a working but non-writable real-time clock (RTC).
This package contains two shell scripts: One writes the offset between
'hwclock' and 'swclock' to a file at shutdown, another one reads the
offset from the file at boot and sets the 'swclock'. This way the system
time in userspace is kept in present time.

# This shell scripts reads the offset from the file and sets the 'swclock'.
#
# To keep the offset calculation simple, the epoch timestamp is used.
#
# The RTC is read from the sysfs node.
#
# To set the system time, command "date" is used. The "@" sign marks an
# epoch time format. As the "date" command offers no quiet option, the
# output is written to the null device.
