Package: wnpp

I would appreciate help in maintaining the cron package. The following
is part of my TODO things that I would like to (at some point in time)
do with this package:

- Fix existing bugs
- Convert the heavily patched cron (now at version 3.0pl1-106) into a
source package wi independent patches using quilt or similar tools
- Update to the 4.1 version available at http://ftp.isc.org/isc/cron/
(only feasible once the above is done so that the patches can be
reviewed individually)

Prospective helpers can check out the Alioth project page information
at https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-cron/

If time passes by and I don't have time to work on the package I might
probably change the RFH to RFA. For the time being I would still like
to dedicate some time to co-maintain the package.

Regards

Javier

Changes: 
 cron (3.0pl1-110) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Christian Kastner ]
   * user.c
      - Fix broken parsing and handling of crontabs with no-newline-before-EOF
      - Refuse to install such crontabs via crontab(1). Closes: #79037
      - Log crontabs missing newline before EOF to syslog. This is only relevant
        for crontabs not installed via crontab(1), ie. /etc/cron.d/* and
        /etc/crontab. Closes: #76625
      - Add a log message explicitly stating that all jobs of crontabs with
        syntax errors will not be run (ie, all-or-nothing). See #555954
   * crontab.c
      - Tell the user which chars are expected on retry, too
   * cron.c
      - Don't let the daemon die when directories disappear, eg. when moving
        directories around. Patch provided by Justin Pryzby (thanks!).
        Closes: #470564
   * database.c
      - Recover from broken symlinks in /etc/cron.d/ (Closes: #433609)
      - Don't report wrong file owner in /etc/cron.d/ as wrong symlink owner
      - Check the permissions of symlink targets (writeable only by root)
   * do_command.c
      - Don't let long-running commands time out certain MTAs. Patch provided by
        Justin Pryzby, based on an analysis by Alexis Huxley (thanks!). Debian's
        default MTA, exim, does not time out, so it shouldn't have been
        affected.  Closes: #155109, #443615
      - Bypass mail generation/sending code when no MTA is installed.
        Previously, jobs with a lot of output would die once the pipe's buffer
        was filled.  Closes: #577133
   * popen.c
      - Check return value of setgid() call, also associated with the
        CVE-2006-2607 fix
      - Move signal handling away from ancient API. Patch provided by Justin
        Pryzby (thanks!).
   * misc.c
      - On startup, when recreating missing directories, do so with permissions
        reflecting Debian's SGID crontab vs upstream's SUID
   * entry.c
      - Explicitly check for valid ranges in range values instead of upstream's
        broken approach which misses certain combinations of ranges and steps.
        Closes: #533726
   * env.c
      - Backport environment variable parser from 4.1. The 3.0 parser has a
        number of issues, especially with otherwise trivial matters such as
        whitespace. Closes: #437180
   * cron.8
      - Document symlink behaviour.
   * crontab.1
      - Document the new EOF handling described above.
   * crontab.5
      - Clarify parsing of empty variables (Closes: #497742)
   * debian/TODO
      - Remove obsolete entries; add a table of planned milestones
   * debian/NEWS
      - Briefly describe the most important changes since lenny's release
   * debian/control
      - Add Christian Kastner to the Maintainers list (Closes: #565143)
 .
   [ Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a ]
   * debian/rules: Install the cron.default file properly
   * debian/standard.daily:
      - Do not indicate that lost+found does not exist if the filesystem is XFS
        (Closes: #577508 577536)
