[arch-dev-public] [signoff] dcron 4.4
This is the final test release before we go to [core] with the new crond. Please signoff, one for each architecture. Aside from the upstream changes, two packaging items: * I've decided to leave the crond logrotate script here for now, unless/until aaron (syslog-ng maintainer) thinks we should take it into that package. I'd rather tackle that effort in a separate step, rather than have it block launching the new 4.x dcron series. * I've added an optdepend on smtp-server to address FS #12662. Upstream release log below: dcron 4.4 released. Changes: * Finished mailjobs were being left as zombie processes. Fixed. * When using crond with logging-to-file, user jobs could only log some events if they had write access to the log. Fixed this by having crond keep a file descriptor open to the log; also added a SIGHUP handler to make crond re-open the logfile. The sample logrotate script now sends that signal. * More sensible command-line parsing by crontab. * Add prune-cronstamps to extra; document extra/*; general improvement of README and manpages. * Portability improvements, and defs.h now has fuller comments about requirements. * Makefile improvements: `make` now caches variables for `make install`; don't stomp CFLAGS environment variable, and added BINDIR,SBINDIR,MANDIR. * Thanks to Juergen Daubert for testing and suggestions. - P

Seems OK here on x86_64. No more zombie sendmail processes either. -Dan

Thanks, Dan. Can I get one for i686? Anyone? - P

Since nobody has signed off i686, I guess I'll wait until it's a week without the second signoff and then push it anyway. That would be on Monday 1/25. - P

Signoff i686. I do not do any fancy crons though but the basics seem to work. Allan

same here. signoff x86_64. BTW, you should set your PACKAGER variable in makepkg.conf.
