Package: apticron Version: 1.1.20 Severity: important Hi,
apticron sleeps for up to one hour in /etc/cron.daily/apticron. This causes other scripts to be delayed by a long time, and makes testing your package with piuparts a PITA ;) One could consider that script execution is already randomized by the different timezones. Also, it's randomized by the other scripts that ran before that one. I'd suggest either: - adding a randomized cron job in postinst (but this would break anacron) - not sleeping at all - renaming the script to zapticron, so it runs later, and is more randomized by other scripts See discussion in http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/06/msg00728.html -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
