Package: webalizer Version: 2.01.10-26 Severity: normal
I found an issue with the way webalizer handles the configuration options. In the /etc/webalizer.config: Incremental Yes The crontab job said: webalizer -p -c /etc/webalizer.config and still, there was no incremental update. After examining the source file webalizer.c: i found the line: case 37: incremental=(value[0]=='y')?1:0; This explained that Yes is not a usable option, but yes is. This case-sensitivity is not mentioned in the docs, nor handled in the processing of the config file. I read that others had a problem that might be related to this: bugs reported under nr 333801 / 311340 / 307705 might be solved with this case-issue / lack of documentation. In my opinion it might be wise to update webalizer.c to also allow capital y. Something like: change case 37: incremental=(value[0]=='y')?1:0; to case 37: incremental=(value[0]=='y' || value[0]=='Y')?1:0; And then of course for all the other options as well ;-) Frank IJskes -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (90, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages webalizer depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgd2-noxpm 2.0.33-1.1 GD Graphics Library version 2 (wit ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
