Personally I think the "uppercase path" argument isn't the one to make.
Nor do I, I think "regression" ought to suffice, but it hasn't with the maintainer so far.
Have you filed a defect report for screen too?
No, I don't think I've ever used screen.
Screen does somethng like cron too. And I'm sure the authors will have a good reason to do so.
I'm sure they do, but has it's behaviour changed?
And such a change is not allowed?
If they have a good reason such a change must be possible.
Of course, but I have not heard anyone explain why it was changed. That's why I call it a regression.
cron has used lowercase at least since SuSE Linux 7.x, then it was changed to uppercase in openSUSE 11.4. cron in SLE uses lowercase too.
You can't compare openSUSE with SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE).
Why not? They're just two Linux'es that behave differently. o
I've written why it is how it is. I described it. Nothing more. There is nothing to discuss from the openSUSE side. If this change didn't cause any trouble and has not been seen for several years this is much noise about nothing.
BTW which version you talk about and which Service Pack (SP) level?
None in particular, it's not important in this context as I'm pretty certain they all have a cron that writes in lower case.
As I wrote before: It's a much older code base and therefore you compare apples with peaches.
SLE 11 and all later SPs have a base close to openSUSE 11.1. Check this version and check which cron had been part of this. Then go from version to version and compare the change logs of the included cron package.
If you see a defect go with it to the upstream issue tracker and report the URL to the mailing list archive or the issue tracker back to this list.
This is not a SUSE issue. This is a cron issue you should report to the cron developers.
Lars, don't be a jerk. I am reporting the bug in our project because the regression took place in our project.
Then you have to stand up and to maintain cron and the required patches and have to be the default defect owner. I'm going to drink a coffee. That's of more value. Thanks, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
