Currently the cron packages (vixie-cron, dcron, fcron, anacron, |
| 2 |
cronbase, ???) and sys-apps/at (not actually a cron but same kinda |
| 3 |
idea) are all 'maintained' by base-system. As many of you are probably |
| 4 |
aware, base-system has lots of bugs and not many developers, so certain |
| 5 |
things tend not to receive as much attention as they might. Right now |
| 6 |
the cron packages seem to be not particularly high up the list of |
| 7 |
priorities. So... |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Would there be any interest in forming a 'cron' herd to take care of |
| 10 |
these packages? This would allow interested developers to join in |
| 11 |
without having to receive the several dozen bug emails per day that |
| 12 |
being on base-system entails. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Member-wise, it looks like I'm now maintaining vixie-cron since I stuck |
| 15 |
my filthy paws all over it, and Ka0ttic didn't say no fast enough to |
| 16 |
avoid being suckered in as co-maintainer. Are there any people who would |
| 17 |
be interested in the other daemons? They're mostly pretty small packages |
| 18 |
(vixie is the nasty one) which don't get updated very often. |
