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
%endifSo, 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.

I used to build from source, but for our CentOS 7 and 8 servers I have been using the Terabithia RPMs with no problems. The downside is that, like Malcolm 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 :(
