cron 3.0pl1-151ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
cron (3.0pl1-151ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=low * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes: - debian/control: Move MTA to Suggests field. - debian/cron.default: change to a deprecated message to make it clear that the file is no longer in use. - d/p/f/inherit-path.patch: Add -P option to inherit PATH from environment, thanks to Tom Jones for the patch (Closes: #688716) - Inherit PATH by default (LP: #1779767): + debian/crontab.main: Stop setting PATH + debian/cron.service, debian/cron.init: Pass -P to cron - Update crontab(5) manpage to match new behaviour (LP: #1938924) cron (3.0pl1-151) unstable; urgency=medium * bumped a breaks+replace clause, now against cronie (<< 1.6.1-5) Closes: #1023325 cron (3.0pl1-150) unstable; urgency=medium [ Georges Khaznadar ] * documented a little more debian/patches/features/protect-list.patch * included changes made by Janitor: + Trim trailing whitespace. + Update standards version to 4.6.1 [ Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues ] * Remove dependency on lsb-base (Closes: #1020603) [ Debian Janitor ] * Trim trailing whitespace. * Update standards version to 4.6.1, no changes needed. cron (3.0pl1-149) unstable; urgency=medium * manage characters \r and \b in a special way, since one could use them to obfuscate a crontab. This patch closes: #585552. Now one can insert characters \r and \b into a crontab's shell command, `crontab -l` will show those characters in escaped format; so the obfuscation is more difficult to create. * introduced the debian patch d/patches/features/protect-list.patch and the test d/tests/check-listings-protection to create the feature and check that it works as expected cron (3.0pl1-148) unstable; urgency=medium * moved the dependency on adduser from packahe cron to package cron-daemon-common. Closes: #1013916; thanks, Mark Hindley! cron (3.0pl1-147) unstable; urgency=medium * added a test for d/fixes/Pam-group-after-fork.patch * merged Jorge Gualtieri's pull request, so this test is working. * added a text utility to display text surronded by a frame * grouped the two tests which are waiting for a crontab job in the same file, so there is one single delay * modified dependencies for the tests cron (3.0pl1-145) unstable; urgency=medium * included Jorge Rocha Gualtieri's patch, and shifted the change by many lines (closes: #983817) * moved part of debian/cron.postrm to debian/cron-daemon-common.postrm, added a condition in debian/cron-daemon-common.postrm: systemd-cron must not be installed, to let it remove /etc/cron.allow and /etc/cron.deny (closes: #773095) cron (3.0pl1-144) unstable; urgency=medium * added versioned Conflicts/Replaces clauses for bcron and systemd-cron Closes: #1012596 * added Conflicts/Replaces clauses between cron and other packages providing cron-daemon. cron (3.0pl1-143) unstable; urgency=medium * modified the test "do_not_modify_previous_crontabs" in order to prevent its output of the sentence "debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed" to stderr. cron (3.0pl1-142) unstable; urgency=medium * added a test to check that older configuration files are preserved when cron-daemon-common is installed. This test is successfully run by Salsa'CI. cron (3.0pl1-141) experimental; urgency=medium * removed the patch fixes/Validate-MAILTO-input.patch, and refreshed other patches to fit the change. All the additions made by the file fixes/Validate-MAILTO-input.patch were undone by the other patch features/Add-MAILFROM-environment-variable.patch, making it completely useless. Taken in account the environment variable MAILFROM again, in the patch features/Add-MAILFROM-environment-variable.patch * tests added: - correctness of the header added to new crontabs (checks the patch features/Add-helpful-header-to-new-crontab.patch) in file d/tests/check_significant_header - debian/tests/check_mailfrom_mailto to check the patch features/Add-MAILFROM-environment-variable.patch cron (3.0pl1-140) experimental; urgency=medium * Created an additional binary package: cron-daemon-common; the new package is there to separate the installation of /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.* stuff, thus making easier to choose between cron and cronie packages, both providing (hopefully) the same features. * Added a few tests for autopkgtest. So far, tested features are: - installing the new packages "cron-daemon-common" and "cron" provide identical contents under /etc/cron.*, then installing the "cron" package from debian/bulleye. - when "cron-daemon-common" and "cron" are installed the only differences in files /etc/crontab are brackets instead of parentheses (which prevent launching a subshell) cron (3.0pl1-139) unstable; urgency=medium * applied simplifications proposed by Debian Janitor: - removed the dependency on debianutils, - removed the version constraints for dependencies lsb-base, libpam-runtime - removed the version constraint for the suggestion anacron cron (3.0pl1-138) unstable; urgency=medium * Added myself as an Uploader * Add bitstring.h as a dependency to CRON_OBJ and CRONTAB_OBJ * applied changes proposed by debian Janitor (https://salsa.debian.org/debian/cron/-/merge_requests/2/diffs) - fixed a line length in d/changelog - bumped Standards-Version: 4.6.0, debhelper-compat (= 13) - erased debian/cron.prerm, which contined nothing useful. * replaced a sequence of spaces by a tab in line 18 of debian/crontab.main, so line 18 has the same syntax as following lines of the same file. Closes: #930765 * added the command `dpkg-statoverride --remove /usr/bin/crontab`, to be called when the package is purged. Closes: #984586 cron (3.0pl1-137.1) unstable; urgency=medium * Non-maintainer upload. * authorized characters like "=", "/" in email addresses. the modified file is debian/patches/features/Add-MAILFROM-environment-variable.patch Closes: #990026 -- Łukasz 'sil2100' Zemczak <email address hidden> Wed, 23 Nov 2022 15:30:35 +0100

Binary packages built by this source
- cron: process scheduling daemon
The cron daemon is a background process that runs particular programs at
particular times (for example, every minute, day, week, or month), as
specified in a crontab. By default, users may also create crontabs of
their own so that processes are run on their behalf.
.
Output from the commands is usually mailed to the system administrator
(or to the user in question); you should probably install a mail system
as well so that you can receive these messages.
.
This cron package does not provide any system maintenance tasks. Basic
periodic maintenance tasks are provided by other packages, such
as checksecurity.
- cron-daemon-common: process scheduling daemon's configuration files
The cron daemon is a background process that runs particular programs at
particular times (for example, every minute, day, week, or month), as
specified in a crontab. By default, users may also create crontabs of
their own so that processes are run on their behalf.
.
This package provides configuration files which must be there to
define scheduled process sets.
