hey..
I wonder about the last update of fcron.It is an update to 3.1.1, there
is a new /etc/crontab file, which is mixed
with /etc/fcronfcrontab, without update notice. The latest stable
version is 3.0.6 on the fcron homepage.
bye, jens.

Read about the new use flag "system-crontab", which is used by default.

3.1.1 is stabilized due to bugs in 3.0.6,
<https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453246>.  You probably want to
read the comments there as well, which cover some more annoyances with
3.1.1.

it would be worth mentioning that you may no longer use fcrontab -u
systab when the new useflag used, what you do when you automatically
updatet. could also be a bug, maybe even deliberate.
Is there a switch that only installed updates which older than 1 month?
so i find the time to read bug-tracks, lists etc.
sorry, but this update, I find that very funny.
