Hi,
Are there any seconds to the proposal to create a virtual
package cron-daemon? The rationale is for packages like logratate,
which otherwise would need to depend on cron | anacron | fcron | bcron |
etc.
The requirements for providing cron-daemon are:
[ POSIX ]
- Has to provide /usr/bin/crontab and support crontab entries
[ Implemented in most Linux / BSD distributions, including Debian, but not
in Solaris, HP-UX or AIX's cron ]
- Correct execution of /etc/cron.d
- Correct support of /etc/crontab
- Correct support of /etc/cron.{allow,deny}
- Has to support 'crontab -u'
- Support of crontab entries with extended features (i.e. those in Vixie
Cron need to be supported), these include names for days and months,
ranges, step values and the 'special strings' (@reboot, @yearly..)
[ Debian-specific feature ]
- Correct execution of /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}
Do I hear seconds for this package?
