Overview

Cron Daemon

Edit Package cronie

cron automatically starts programs at specific times. Add new entries
with "crontab -e". (See "man 5 crontab" and "man 1 crontab" for
documentation.)

Under /etc, find the directories cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly,
and cron.monthly. Scripts and programs that are located there are
started automatically.

Hi, since the latest update (1.6.0) it seems to require debianutils, albeit the changelog not showing it to be a recent addition in %post (looks like it's there since a longer time already?) - is this expected for such a common SUSE package? I could not quite make out which part in %post it is required for - but maybe I missed it!

Hi!

This is the change from the changelog:

- Change default configuration to use run-parts from debianutils
  instead of run-crons

I have switched the cronie package to run-parts because it is a maintained script and it is used in various distributions, as opposed to run-crons which is SUSE specific. It fixes various shortcomings of run-crons, which got a couple of bugs reported in the last years. It is not needed in %post but it is a runtime dependency.
