Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-110 Severity: wishlist Let's say the user has a working crontab for years. Well, upon upgrading cron one day it stops working. He doesn't notice it at first, but after a few days he thinks, 'why is my coffee not ready on time?" etc.
Well, $ crontab -l|diff file - shows his crontab is A-OK. Even though there should be no need, he does $ crontab file whereupon an *ERROR* is reported. Well, it would be nice if upon upgrade, every user's crontab is checked to see if it is still considered error free with the new version of cron, and if not, then at least mail the user to tell him. It doesn't matter if it is the users fault, or a bug in cron, that caused the user's formerly OK crontab to now become not OK. Just please notify the user, and perhaps now make $ crontab -l #Your crontab has errors with version xxx of cron. Here it is commented #out below. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
