Description Ed Presutti 2005-02-12 12:51:47 UTC
Most pacakges (like slocate) automatically install their cron scripts to update themselves, esearch does not. How about making the ebuild automatically add the /usr/share/doc/esearch-0.7/eupdatedb.cron.gz as /etc/cron.daily/eupdatedb?


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge esearch
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Cron is not updated

Expected Results:  
Cron should be updated to run eupdatedb nightly like slocate does.

parallel emerge operations arent exactly the most stable, so this could cause unexpected issues for users
