this package is a few releases old, and i was able to make release 2.0.2 work with this PKGBUILD.

# Maintainer: Dwayne Bent <dbb@dbb.io>
pkgname=systemd-cron
pkgver=2.0.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='systemd units to run cron scripts'
arch=(any)
url='https://github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron'
license=('MIT')
depends=('systemd>=236')
optdepends=('smtp-forwarder: sending emails')
provides=('cron')
conflicts=('cron' 'systemd-cron-next' 'systemd-cron-next-git')
source=("${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://github.com/systemd-cron/${pkgname}/archive/refs/tags/v${pkgver}.tar.gz"
        'sysusers.conf')
install=${pkgname}.install
sha256sums=('SKIP'
            'SKIP')

build() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
        --enable-minutely --enable-quarterly --enable-semi_annually \
            --enable-runparts=no

    make
}

package() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"

    make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install

    install -d "${pkgdir}"/etc/cron.{boot,minutely,hourly,daily,weekly,monthly,quarterly,semi-annually,yearly}
    install -dm1730 "${pkgdir}/var/spool/cron"
    cat "${srcdir}/sysusers.conf" >> "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/sysusers.d/${pkgname}.conf"
}
  • python is no longer a dependency, as 2.0.2 is in c++

  • should probably have had some extra conflicts

  • run-parts is no longer a dependency and is not recommended as a config, so --enable-runparts=no. otherwise, services and timers are not added, noted and fixed in this issue https://github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron/issues/115

  • --enable-setgid is no longer a valid configure option, so removed that

  • /var/spool/cron is expected to have permissions set to 1730 rather than 755, so install -dm1730 "${pkgdir}/var/spool/cron"

pull request pls

also feel free to regenerate the sums, i just didn't bother with it

With release 1.5.18 upstream has added their own version of sysusers.d/systemd-cron.conf, which is overwritten by your version. I think they should be merged.

@katt Done

Hi, could you please set a unique filename for the source?

See the warning about SRCDEST here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#source

Works! Thank you so much! :)

dbb commented on 2019-02-07 15:36 (UTC)

@einalex Just updated, try the new version.

@dbb the errors I'm getting are these:

% crontab -e

@Mind Those changes were incorporated the next day on 2016-03-28. crontab -e is working fine on my system. What errors are you seeing and what are the ownership and permissions on /usr/lib/systemd-cron/crontab_setgid and /var/spool/cron?

Mind commented on 2018-01-30 05:59 (UTC)

@dbb Could you merge the changes mentioned on 2016-03-27? Without them, you can't use crontab -e without permission errors.

dbb commented on 2016-03-28 13:14 (UTC)

@wilbowma Updated with your changes with some slight modifications.
