Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-162
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
While editing crontab with `crontab -e` I noticed it was not
using my default editor configured with update-alternatives.
After looking up the source patches I saw the recent addition
of sensible-editor, however crontab.1.xml still points to
/usr/bin/editor which is not managed by sensible-editor.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Configured sensible-editor to use my editor of choice.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Everything works as intended with sensible-editor.
A mention of sensible-editor in the man page would be nice :)
Thank you,
Thomas
