661850 - Added crontabs as a dependency.

It is used for scheduled events, such as repo syncs and
auditing/consumer history culling.


pulp.spec

Comment 2 Jay Dobies 2010-12-10 19:09:11 UTC

Fixed in build 0.114.

Comment 3 Preethi Thomas 2011-01-04 16:28:15 UTC

Here is what I see, Please let me know if this is ok.

[root@pulp2 ~]# yum install pulp

--> Processing Dependency: crontabs for package: pulp-0.0.119-1.fc14.noarch

[root@pulp2 ~]# rpm -q crontabs
crontabs-1.11-1.20101115git.fc14.noarch

[root@pulp2 ~]# rpm -q pulp
pulp-0.0.119-1.fc14.noarch




[root@pulp2 ~]# service pulp-server init
Starting mongod:                                           [  OK  ]
no crontab for root

I see the no crontab for root message above


[root@pulp2 ~]# service pulp-server start
Starting Qpid AMQP daemon:                                 [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 10.16.79.226 for ServerName
                                                           [  OK  ]

Comment 4 Jay Dobies 2011-01-04 18:08:01 UTC

The "no crontab" message is only saying that there wasn't a crontab entry for root yet. If you see that, it means cron is installed and able to do that check. If you didn't have crontab installed, instead of that message you'd see an error that cron could not be found.

The easiest way to verify this is to uninstall crontab and install pulp, checking that pulp installed it in the process. For completeness, it'd be ideal to test this on both RHEL 5 and Fedora 13/14 to make sure that the package is named correctly in both cases.

Comment 5 Jay Dobies 2011-01-04 18:09:42 UTC

So, it helps if I pay attention when I read your comment. Looks like you already verified that "yum install pulp" pulls in crontabs as a dependency. The "no crontab" isn't an error and just a result of using cron.

Moving to verified as per the comments above in 119

Comment 7 Preethi Thomas 2011-08-16 14:01:49 UTC

Closing with Community Release 15

pulp-0.0.223-4.
