Subject: [devuan-dev] bug#852: snapper: Snapper package assumes systemd
Package: snapper
Version: 0.10.6-1.1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Installing and configuring snapper
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Installation appears to assume that systemd is available for triggering Timeline
snapshots and periodic cleaning. It omits the cron configuration files that would
be in /etc/cron.hourly and /etc/crond.daily for snapshotting and cleanup respectively.
Manually adding the files fixes the problem.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Manual addition of cron job files corrects the problem.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Cron job files should be installed with the package.
