Hi, >From the beginning systemd-cron was two other people half-project duck-taped together to give what we have in Debian.
Since this started in 2014 I've got a bit better and I'm now reconsidering the plan to have a C-only version as the default cron-daemon that could be a good match for task:laptop for example. The complete rewrite/untangling of the Python version is a necessary step. An other step is automated testing: https://github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron/issues/51 Which was simply not do-able with the previous codebase; so I'm quite stuck in chicken & egg problem and need to cut the knot somehow. I never wrote any unit test before (even at work ...) so this is my first attempt: https://github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron/blob/master/test/test.py I will try to build a corpus of crontabs that triggers all the codepaths. Your's will be included. Greetings, I'll certainly come back at this before version 1.16.x migrates to testing.
