The package() function will fail on systems without a group named "users", which doesn't exist on default arch installs afair. The problem occurs during the call to make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install, where files are installed with the group set to whatever was passed as CRONTAB_GROUP during build().

Not sure what the canonical way would be to solve this. Either create the users group (probably with a gid=100, as was the case for older arch installs) or a less ambiguous group like cron, or something else entirely?

As this project has not had a commit in years (let alone a meaningful code one), i am adding additional security flags during compilation.

I have changed the version format slightly, so if someone is using a custom parser for checking updates, it is likely to fail.

Adopted package. Updates: * changed git repository * PKGBUILD updated according to pacman 4.1 specifications. * /usr move. * added systemd service file. * removed rc.d script. If you are still using initscripts, please use the following package to get the rc.d script https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rcdscripts-aic/

Git repository is now at git://github.com/dubiousjim/dcron. The pkgbuild still points to the old site which redirects (and fails) to github.com/dubiousjim.

Fix needed for the /usr move.

there is an inconsistent usage of pid file name: extra/crond.logrotate: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/cron.pid` extra/crond.rc: echo "$PID" > /var/run/crond.pid please note cron.pid vs crond.pid result: cat: /var/run/cron.pid: No such file or directory kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]
