there are also problems with permissions, would there be any possible way we could use upstream install, is it just about adding --libexecdir?
In the current state fcron doesn’t update its cron files, and changing them with fcrontab -e or even restarting fcron has no effect. So this is a note that, if this it fixed, we have to check if it actually updates that.
Between 3.1.2 and 3.1.2-r1 ebuilds, the econf flags were changed, which caused this problem. I tested a patched ebuild that sets both --bindir and --sbindir and it works as expected with fcron{,sighup} in /usr/libexec/ --- fcron-3.1.2-r1.ebuild 2013-07-20 04:56:17.000000000 -0500 +++ fcron-3.1.2-r2.ebuild 2013-08-22 18:59:20.180102239 -0500 @@ -59,6 +59,7 @@ # bindir is used just for calling fcronsighup econf \ --with-cflags="${CFLAGS}" \ + --bindir=/usr/libexec \ --sbindir=/usr/libexec \ $(use_with pam) \ $(use_with selinux) \
