It's just taken us a little long to find this problem.
And this might be a problem in itsself ;-) In this case the question is: Does "fixing" this bug cause more harm than good?
Don't get me wrong - in general, I'm all for fixing bugs - but in this case, how many log-analysis scripts etc. (which expect uppercase CRON in the meantime) will we break?
It's a good question, but if we assume that the same amount of new scripts are written per release, it's easily answered: lowercase cron output in releases 7.x/8.x/9.x/10.x/11.x uppercase cron output in releases 11.4,12.1 There's no way of really answering the question, but probabilistically speaking, the change to uppercase in 11.4 broke more scripts than a change back now will break. 12.1 and 12.2 have not yet been put into production in many places. I think we should revert to lowercase, using the same argument that was applied whenever it was changed to lowercase. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
