Re: [arch-dev-public] Use systemd timers instead of /etc/cron.{hourly, daily, weekly, monthly}?

I guess for man-db should be better use tmpfiles instead of mkdir in the service unit.

The old cron.d script had the mkdir call inside with a comment that the directory should be recreated in case of deletion. I guess having it inside the service makes sure the service works even if someone rm -r's the directory at runtime. IMO mkdir should not be necessary at all, man-db should create the directory itself when needed.
