Package: systemd-cron
Version: 1.3.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
lines 198 and 205 (persistent='') indent with tab instead spaces this
will cause unexpected behavior
* masked missing persistent initialization in def generate_timer_unit
(which caused generation to fail for some of my cron jobs)
this is also part of upstream Debian version
(github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron-debian) but not generic upstream
(github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron)
i think there is a git option to avoid or warn for tabs in indention
friendly greetings
Karl

So there is here one bug (broken generator) which is fixed in unstable;
and one warning (tabs) that will be solved in 1.3.2 .
> 1.3.1 upstream seems to be broken without persistent=true
Yes, but the two only downstreams are Debian & Arch a.t.m. which both set this
flag.
If someone built it from source, he could use 'master'.

This can't happen anymore in upstream:
https://github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron/commit/0082314975b03e6f393c90dccafb67c60e061435
https://github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron/commit/0b96e6723b8b36362620ffdac2644591a27b71f8
Is there here an actual problem with 1.3.1+ds1-1,
or is this just a theorical problem that would only happen
if the script were executed on Windows with tab=4 spaces ?
Thanks,
Alexandre
