Cron Daemon

Edit Package cronie

cron automatically starts programs at specific times. Add new entries
with "crontab -e". (See "man 5 crontab" and "man 1 crontab" for
documentation.)

Under /etc, find the directories cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly,
and cron.monthly. Scripts and programs that are located there are
started automatically.

- define PIDIDIR to "/run" instead of the (outdated) definition 
  coming from glibc "paths.h"

Hi, since the latest update (1.6.0) it seems to require debianutils, albeit the changelog not showing it to be a recent addition in %post (looks like it's there since a longer time already?) - is this expected for such a common SUSE package? I could not quite make out which part in %post it is required for - but maybe I missed it!

Hi!

This is the change from the changelog:

- Change default configuration to use run-parts from debianutils
  instead of run-crons

I have switched the cronie package to run-parts because it is a maintained script and it is used in various distributions, as opposed to run-crons which is SUSE specific. It fixes various shortcomings of run-crons, which got a couple of bugs reported in the last years. It is not needed in %post but it is a runtime dependency.
