https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2350109 --- Comment #56 from Pramod V U <pramodvu1502@xxxxxxxxx> --- "Alternatives" mechanism would be too complicated, considering that crond.service and cron.target are 2 different units... Yes, systemd does have a `Conflicts=` though, which could be used in cron.target here... Should I add a `Conflicts=crond.service` to cron.target? > To be clear to you, I won't accept this review with the current hacks for cronie. I really dislike any hard-couplings with cronie (what if cronie gets renamed, that would require changes in this package). I agree, but the "solution(s)" is/are not that simple... will need a bit of time... Is it possible to amend cronie.spec to `Provides: cron` and make all packages having `Requires: cronie` to instead depend on `cron`? AND `Provides: cron` in this package too. Yes, alternatives mechanism is ultimately needed, for the "crontabs" binary. But if it *is* possible for the crond.service and cron.target units, and it's not too complicated, it might be fine. So I propose the following solutions: - Alternatives mechanism for %{_bindir}/crontab binary... - systemd.unit Conflicts=crond.service - Alternatives mechanism for crond.service <-> cron.target if possible... - If really needed, every cron daemon `Provides: cron` and every dependant `Requires: cron`... If really needed. - What else? A better solution? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
