On the website for installing gentoo it is mentioned that you can select between different cron daemons. But when I try to use emerge --usepkg vixie-cron I get a message that there is no entry for that package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
vcron has been renamed to vixie-cron within the last days. If you'd like to use GRP packages during your installation you should use 'emerge --usepkg vcron'. Quote from the Handbook: "Note: If you are installing Gentoo using the prebuild packages, you should use vcron instead of vixie-cron in case vixie-cron fails."
I'll close this as as WORKSFORME since this issue is explained in the install docs.
