Package: apticron Severity: wishlist
I'm running Lenny with sources.list pointing at a mirror and it seems the default modulus of 3600 is too short of a time (the mirror is not done synchronizing so it never discovers any new packages). I've changed the "RANGE" enviroment variable in the apticron script up to 86000 but I can see this causing problems with the "sleep" bug/feature that delays the other cronjobs. Also, could it be that there are more packages then normal being bumped into testing causing the synch to take longer? Is there some way to work around that? I guess the specific feature request would be a screen in the configure script to ask you for the modulus you want or a way for the script to come back and run again when the mirror is done with synch. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
