[Xymon] Terabithia or compile

[Ralph M]

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.
