Hi Gary, just to clarify, those are systemd units (the files which decide when and why a service is run when systemd is the init system). These are totally harmless, and there is absolutely no need to fork a package just to remove those files. If you keep reading down on the same dev1galaxy thread you mentioned above, you will find that other users have clarified that those files are innocuous. > Internet talks indicates it was 'borged' by systemd. > FWIW > Looking at the fcron files - I see that it(fcron) can be used by > SysVint or systemd [for its time element ticks??] > ' > ' > guess I'll look for another package to practice on - but its gotta be sorta > simple > [I'm open to suggestions!] > I'm new to this d1h stuff - and others reported many attempts to get a > package up. In general, you should start packaging or repackaging something only if you wish to act as a maintainer for the package, i.e., if you are willing to keep the package updated with upstream developments. Having hundreds of forked packages that then get forgotten by their maintainers is useless, if not dangerous, for Devuan. Please feel free to ask any question you have about the process. You can also try the IRC channel #devuan or #devuan-dev on freenode.
