* Package name : cronie Version : 1.4.4 Upstream Author : Marcela Mašláňová * URL : https://fedorahosted.org/cronie/ * License : ISC Programming Lang: C Description : Fedora's fork of ISC cron cronie is a fork ISC cron (formerly vixie-cron) created by Red Hat / Fedora. ISC cron is somewhat dead, with no upstream development since 4.1 was released in 2004. As one of the cron Maintainers, I'm currently in the process of upgrading our vixie-cron to ISC 4.1. My intention is to simultaneously forward most of our patches to cronie for inclusion, opening the possibility of an eventual switch from cron to cronie as Debian's default job scheduler. Even without the Debian-specific feature additions, this would greatly reduce our maintenance burden, as we currently have to patch in even such trivial matters as PAM support. Whether this fork deserves separate packaging or whether we upgrade our cron directly to it may be subject to debate; I'm filing this ITP now to record that work is already being done on cronie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
