This fixes the order of the daily cron jobs (/etc/cron.daily/koha-common) so that koha-run-backups is run first.
Reasons for this include:
1. The koha-run-backups cron job takes a backup before running scripts that change database contents. If there is a problem with those scripts, you'll have a very recent backup on which to fallback.
2. It's a resource intensive job. If you have a lot of Koha instances, this means you're running your most intensive job at the end of the job run, which might be a lot later in the day than you anticipate. (Of course, you can update /etc/crontab to change when /etc/cron.daily is run, but this will help reduce impact in the meantime.)
Deployment of this change:
- New installations: This change will seamlessly apply for new installations.
- Existing installations:
. You HAVEN'T manually modified the crontab: it will seamlessly apply.
. You HAVE manually modified the crontab: you will be prompted, and will need to decide about applying the change.
. Where deployment tools are used (such as Ansible): this will depend on what tools you use and how they are configured.
