base system build includes dcron. base system build of x86 version does not include any specific cron. this interferes with trying to use other cron managers (such as vcron) since any emerge -u world will keep reinstalling dcron even after unmerged. please remove dcron as default. thanks.
dcron is Gentoo's default cron. If you would like to change that, edit your profile to reflect it. You will need to edit both /etc/make.profile/packages and /etc/make.profile/virtuals . Remember that any changes you make to /usr/portage/profiles/... will get blown away when you do an emerge --clean sync, so you should make a copy of the default-1.0 profile and put it somewhere outside the portage tree and link to that from /etc/make.profile.
no, the reporter is right. dcron should not be in the profile packages - the ppc guys need to take it out (remove the star from the line), just like it is in the x86 packages... the default is handled by having virtual/cron map to sys-apps/dcron by default... i didn't take this, because i don't want to mess with profiles (especially on an arch that i don't know) please somebody assign this to a ppc core person thanks
Fixed entries in default-ppc-1.0/{packages,virtual}
