Re: [Fedora-packaging] Packaging guidelines for packaging Cron Jobs in the distribution

Greetings
I have been looking into cron jobs in the distribution and I noticed
that there dont seem to be any packaging guidelines for packaging cron
jobs in the distribution.
More or less every package that ships cron jobs does not require
Cronie which arguably it should, however only few packages actually
strictly need cron ( logwatch,leafnote etc ) while the majority of
them are more or less small administration task that can be triggered
manually by the user/administrator thus not strictly required by the
component.
Before I start providing patches to fix this I need to know what is
the correct way to move forward as in...
Should the requirement on Cronie be added to the spec file?
or
Should those cron-jobs be package in a separate sub package which
would depend on Cronie?
Or should all crons provide some common virtual provide?

Thanks
