Description Sergey Okhapkin 2022-09-24 13:20:29 UTC 
The current sys-process/cronie ebuild installs 0hourly file to /etc/cron.d only if anacron support is enabled. The file should be installed unconditionally or hourly cron jobs are not executed on anacron-less systems.
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2022-09-24 16:57:26 UTC 
Bug 825026 appears to be asking for the opposite behavior, which makes no sense to me.
Comment 2 Sergey Okhapkin 2022-09-24 17:20:20 UTC 
The behavior asked in the bug 825026 makes no sense to me too. Hourly, daily, weekly and monthly jobs should be executed regardless of "anacron" USE flag.
