Yeah so I think ‘%base-services’ is bound to remain pretty much the same forever. And what about adding it to ‘%desktop-services’? This one is clearly for people who expect things to work out of the box. >> If we do so, we would need to document a way to add mcron jobs from the >> ‘operating-system’ declaration.

How about just calling > it jobs? Not sure I understand the problem. ‘mcron-jobs’ wouldn’t collide with anything else AFAICS, and it would be clearer than just ‘jobs’ no? So related question: putting ‘mcron-service’ in ‘%base-services’? It would be a no-op in the absence of job specifications. Thanks for your feedback, Ludo’.
