Bug#941694: ocsinventory-agent: Can the OCSInventory Cron be brought inline with upstream?

[Pat Riehecky]

Package: ocsinventory-agent
Version: 2:2.4.2-3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
The official OCSInventory RPMs (http://rpm.ocsinventory-ng.org/) include a cronjob to run the agent in a defined manner.

As part of my maintenance of the Fedora OCS Inventory Agent, I opened a PR against the official sources (https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/UnixAgent/pull/223)

Could Ubuntu's OCS Inventory Package include this updated script and timers? This would simplify my management of OCS when bouncing between Fedora/CentOS/Ubuntu.
