… sync In Ubuntu-Touch Focal (20.04) cron is no longer installed by default. It's much more elegant to use templated systemd user-timers anyway. There's multiple benefits to this solution: - Everything can be done in the users home-directory - We don't need to mount the root-filesystem in rw mode any more - We don't need sudo privileges any more - No risky modification of crontabs using sed - No need to set the env-vars for DISPLAY and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS any more BREAKING CHANGE: This does not remove existing cron-jobs that may remain from previous installations. These must be cleared out manually, otherwise synchronization might start in parallel. The effects of this are unknown but potentially not desirable.
Since we no longer use traditional cron-jobs, the documentation should reflect that. Also some more information on known bugs and issues with backwards compatibility of this script should be documented.
This currently only allows one synchronization interval for all configuration files. The interval of the last configuration file wins.
