Description

That would be against Packaging Guidelines: """ Packages which do not already depend or require systemd must not use timer units but instead depend and have requirement on crontabs, to avoid introducing unnecessary new dependencies on systemd directly. """ Closing as WONTFIX. It's time to re-evaluate this. crond isn't even installed on cloud images of Fedora 28+ and systemd is ubiquitous. logrotate should take on cronie as a dependency or user systemd-timer. |
