Odi's astoundingly incomplete notes
New entries | CodeGentoo replacing ntp, vixie-cron, man
Gentoo is cleaning out its closet. It has removed unmaintained upstream packages which were still popular: ntp, vixie-cron and man. Of course it's a logical step and using the modern replacements is rational.
For net-misc/ntp, use net-misc/ntpsec: This has way more robust configuration while eliminating ancient obscure features like traps.
For vixie-cron, use sys-process/cronie. It also itegrates anacron, so you get two in one.
For man, use man-db which is faster as it uses a BDB backend instead of text files.
