To save others some time investigating why their daily / weekly / |
| 2 |
monthly cron jobs (those located in /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}) |
| 3 |
run twice when transitioning from DST to non-DST, it's a bug in |
| 4 |
/usr/sbin/run-crons <https://bugs.gentoo.org/69777> (yes, you've read |
| 5 |
the bug number correctly). The script is too eager to clean up stale |
| 6 |
"lastrun" files. |

I attached a patch to the bug, but considering how old the bug is, and |
| 9 |
from the tone of the discussion there, I have little hope that it gets |
| 10 |
applied. If you would like to see this fixed, it may be worth chiming in |
| 11 |
on the bug. Or if you're a kind Gentoo developer listening to affected |
| 12 |
users, to take action. |
