[Piuparts-devel] Bug#746721: piuparts-master/slave cron file syntax wrong

[Dave Steele]

Package: piuparts-master
Severity: serious
thanks

Cron files, installed in /etc/cron.d, are not in the right format. The
required 'user' field is omitted.

Because of this issue, slaves are not started at boot, and no normal
recovery or retest actions are taken. Reports are not automatically
generated. Documentation is insufficient for straightforward manual
work-arounds (see also #746718).

Setting to 'serious', because it "makes the package in question unusable or
mostly so", or "makes the package unsuitable for release".

This is assigned to piuparts-master, to avoid a release-critical bug
against piuparts. The issue applies to piuparts-slave as well.

Also, more cron tasks than are necessary are commented out, with
insufficient guidance on what/when to enable.
