AFAIK, anacron was superfluous in openSUSE up through 11.3.
It wasn't in the main repo; with 11.4 it's in "openSUSE 11.4". IIRC the bug (missing run-parts) already exists in 11.3
If it hasn't changed, then this still may be a documentation bug.
Why is it a documentation bug if the default configuration is broken because of missing parts of the program? I also have to correct the description: /etc/crontab is undisturbed by anacron. But anacron as distributed is broken. -- 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.

Why is it a documentation bug if the default configuration is broken because of missing parts of the program?
The question I have regards developer intent. Is cronie-anacron now to be considered as part of the supported openSUSE "default configuration" ? Or is cronie-anacron just being shipped in the main repo because it's part of the now-default cronie? But broken off into a separate package because it's an optional extra for users who want it. If it's not to be considered part of the supported system default configuration, but an optional non-default configuration, then I think it's reasonable to expect users to read the documentation and configure it themselves. Up to and including grabbing a copy of run-parts from outside the main repo. Iow, an optional extra may be shipped with an example configuration file. The documentation that I don't see here is a signal from the packagers about their intent, and the expected use for the cronie-anacron package. Instead the rpm description just reads: "Anacron becames part of cronie...." -- 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.
