You mean the one that you guys somehow assumed I had more free time that 
you did ( I dont get paid to work on Fedora which means I spending what 
ever free time I have to work on various bits in the project ) and 
somehow expected me to write one because not everybody could attend and 
or vote on that meeting upon when it was discussed, You know the guy 
with poor English skills ( which means it would have to be rewritten by 
the fpc anyway ) and is not even packager as I mentioned on that 
meeting. + I have already tried that once before and that did not work 
out so well.

In this case it's best that FPC spends it's free time settles on it. I 
have already been waiting for close to a 2 weeks for a single Require 
line ( what ever it may turn out to be even thou it seemed to be settled 
upon on that meeting that was crontab ) so I can start working on those 
components after all you guys are the packaging committee and when you 
signed up for the job you must have assumed that your time would be 
spend on proposal and other related work that falls under FPC not just 
expected to be handed drafts and ack upon them?

The bottom line is as got discussed on that meeting and seemed to be the 
best chose is to have every package that ships cron job to depend on 
crontab as cronie does. The rest who did not cast vote on that meeting 
can cast vote upon that and I can start working on those components ( or 
not and we have to find some other way ) and whomever has enough free 
time is can come up with a draft surrounding that.
