  * 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

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.
