The mailing list <bug-mcron@gnu.org> has been set-up.
|
||||||
Set up Savannah and the mailing lists so that we are now homed properly at
|
|
||||||
gnu.org. Released version 1.0.1 to reflect this, with CVS tag release_1-0-1
|
|
||||||
(no branch). Hopefully we will now get some feedback!

The code is now splitted into modules.
|
||||||
Mcron is now officially a GNU program. Unfortunately Savannah, the
|
|
||||||
development environment, has been mauled so an immediate GNU release is not
|
|
||||||
likely. No CVS tag has been created.

||||||
|
been worked around.

* Noteworthy changes in release 0.99.1 (2003-07-05) [stable]

Broken the code into modules (which is not the same as saying the code is
|
|
||||||
broken ;-) ).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Installation of cron and crontab is now disabled by default (suspect problems
|
||||||
|
with Guile internals are preventing these from working properly).

The project is now managed on Savannah. A CVS repository and web page have been

We have been accepted as a Savannah project. A CVS repository and web home

page have been created. We're still waiting for acceptance as a GNU

project.
