thanks
Hi Tim,
Thanks for your patch, unfortunately I can't accept it for the SRG
package as it would break the example weekly and monthly cron scripts
that ship in /usr/share/doc/srg/examples/
It is standard UNIX behaviour for parameters specified on the
commandline to override those that are found in a programs
configuration file and SRG follows this convention.
The default configuration file shipped by the package does not specify
any policy regarding when old reports should be removed. The default
daily cron script removes reports older than 31 days via the -m
command line parameter and the weekly and monthly scripts also remove
old reports as per their comments.
This configuration is a good default that should suit most basic users
of the SRG package. If you want to setup an alternative report
retention strategy for your installation then you are welcome to
modify the cron script and the configuration file yourself. These
files are all marked as conffiles in the package so your changes will
be preseved and dpkg will alert you if there are any updates that you
need to apply to your modified files.
Thanks for your interest in the package, and good luck with your installation.
Cheers
