Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-60
Severity: wishlist

I'm doing a bit of hacking on cron to meet some local specifications and the
first part of this consisted in cleaning up the code a bit. I'm submitting
just the cleanup parts here in case you or anyone else wants them.

This patch removes all uses of the `register' and `auto' keywords, adds a
bunch of `const's, and converts function prototypes to ANSI-style (similar
to what the protoize command does).

Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org

Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-60
Severity: wishlist

I'm doing a bit of hacking on cron to meet some local specifications and the
first part of this consisted in cleaning up the code a bit. I'm submitting
just the cleanup parts here in case you or anyone else wants them.

This patch removes all uses of the `register' and `auto' keywords, adds a
bunch of `const's, and converts function prototypes to ANSI-style (similar
to what the protoize command does).

The "latest" upstream release, cron 4.1 seems to be available here:

 	ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/cron/

and was released on 2004/01/23.

Is there any available discussion on why Debian has never packaged the new 
release? Everybody else seems to package 4.1.

?

There has not been enougth help to forward all our patches to the 4.1
release. Our cron version is heavily patched and moving to this
release requires a lot of time and testing.

Help with doing this would be appreciated.

Javier

Does Debian's cron live in a RCS of some sort? What would be useful in 
porting forward Debian's patches is being able to extract individual 
patch sets together with the rationale of them - as in SVN or in 
debian/patches/* or similar.

Is it correct that none of those things exists and thus one would have to 
run through and interdiff all individual Debian releases since the 
beginning of the packaging in 1996?
