40506 2004-02-05 10:59 0000 cron.daily naming convention? 2004-05-03 13:02:52 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Ebuilds unspecified All Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 simons@cryp.to base-system@gentoo.org release@gentoo.org simons@cryp.to 2004-02-05 10:59:06 0000 In /etc/contab.daily, the default system installs two files: makewhatis.cron and slocate. Apparently, the .cron suffix is not required ... So I wonder whether it would be a good idea to name those files constistently either with or without that suffix? I'm in favor of leaving it out. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. vapier@gentoo.org 2004-02-05 19:58:11 0000 i dont know of anything else that uses .cron ... kind of dumb imo azarah@gentoo.org 2004-02-08 05:55:49 0000 man and sysklogd uses .cron. Anybody know of anything else? simons@cryp.to 2004-04-05 08:48:11 0000 So, is there any chance of makeing the cron-script naming scheme consistent? Personally, I am in favor of using the .cron suffix consistently. vapier@gentoo.org 2004-05-03 13:02:52 0000 man now installs makewhatis (no .cron)
