I really do not like the idea of installing cron job and/or the service as a part of regular e2fsprogs package. This can potentially really surprise people in a bad way. Note that I've already heard some complaints from debian users about the systemd service being installed on their system after the e2fsprogs update. What I am going to do is to split the systemd service into a separate package and I'd like to come to some agreement about the name of the package so that we can have the same name across distributions (at least Fedora/Debian/Suse). I was thinking about e2scrub-service for systemd service or e2scrub-cron for the cron job. What do you think ? Also I decided not to package the cron job for now. But if I decide to package it in the future I'd like to change the e2scrub cron configuration so that it can run on the systems with systemd but make the package conflict with the e2scrub-service so that users are free to decide how they want to use it. Thoughts ? Thanks! -Lukas
