Description Tom Rogie aka Trogie 2013-02-21 15:32:04 UTC
After (re-)emerging/building app-backup/reoback the run_reoback.sh script in /etc/cron.daily has no execute permissions (666).

more info:
From time to time I rebuild my entire system and from then on my backups don't run anymore because the run_reoback.sh script in /etc/cron.daily has no execute permissions. 
Only after giving it minimal a 755 the backups fill run again daily.

pkg_postinst() {
        elog "Reoback can now be activated by simply configuring the files in"
        elog "/etc/reoback and then doing: chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/reoback"
}

Apparently you wouldn't want to run the cron job without configuring reoback first. This isn't optimal, and it could perhaps be done differently.
Comment 2 Tom Rogie aka Trogie 2013-02-23 08:21:36 UTC
Reoback should not run if no setup or configuration was done so then it could have the 755 for the script without any problem...

Feel free to provide how to ensure it's properly configured before getting it run automatically :/

It makes sense the way it is. So please reopen when we have a patch.
