I suggest these changes: --- PKGBUILD 2011-05-01 21:30:00.046676526 -0400 +++ PKGBUILD.new 2011-05-01 21:35:10.066676512 -0400 @@ -38,5 +38,8 @@ install -D -m0600 extra/root.crontab "$pkgdir/var/spool/cron/root" install -D -m755 extra/crond.rc "$pkgdir/etc/rc.d/crond" install -D -m0644 extra/crond.conf "$pkgdir/etc/conf.d/crond" - install -D -m644 extra/crond.logrotate "$pkgdir/etc/logrotate.d/crond" + #install -D -m644 extra/crond.logrotate "$pkgdir/etc/logrotate.d/crond" + install -D -m644 extra/crontab.vim "$pkgdir/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/crontab.vim" + sed -i -e 's=/var/spool/cron/cronstamps=/var/spool/cronstamps=' extra/prune-cronstamps + install -D -m755 extra/prune-cronstamps "$pkgdir/etc/cron.d/prune-cronstamps" } But none of those are especially urgent. Note that the logrotate file should not be installed if there continues to be a reference to /var/log/crond.log in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf. I distribute it as an example for users or distros who don't use dcron with syslog. -- Jim Pryor profjim@xxxxxxxxxxxx
