Hi there

We use fcron a lot at ${work} so I've also added myself to the project in an
attempt to help out with fcron-related bugs.

needed love.

I just updated the SELinux patch on vixie-cron and stabilized it a while
ago, it works fine and doesnt need all that much maintenance. I vote
keep it, i'll look after it. If it has some big architectural issues
later then we can last-rite it but its been reliable so far.

I added myself to the Cron project with blueness.

Okay a followup on my last email, I added myself to the project and will
try to take care of all cron packages.

My understanding is that vixie-cron is no longer maintained and sys-
process/cronie is the drop-in replacement that is now also suggested as
the default cron in the handbook.

I seem to recall a more recent discussion about this as well, but can't
find it at the moment.

Perhaps it is time to mask vixie-cron for removal?

Those are very important packages.  I use fcron and at and I can help
take care of those.  I should probably take a look a t cronbase and
virtual/cron too.
