Package: irssi-scripts

Hi there!

I recently configured the awayproxy.pl script on my squeeze server with

  ~/.irssi/scripts/awayproxy.pl -> /usr/share/irssi/scripts/awayproxy.pl

This because README.Debian contains (emphasis is mine):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Some frequently asked questions with answers:
Q: How do I run scripts?
A: In irssi do /script load script.pl . There is a default alias for
   /script load to /run in newer versions of irssi.
Q: How do I rerun scripts?
A: Just do /script load script.pl .
Q: How do I unload scripts?
A: Just do /script unload script.pl .
Q: How do I run scripts automatically at startup?
A: Put them into ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ directory. Or better would be if
   you placed them in ~/.irssi/scripts/ (or kept them in the default
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   installation directory) and created symlinks to autorun directory
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   (eg. cd ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ ; ln -s ../script.pl .)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, I then started to get mail delivery failure notifications with
the IRC messages received when I was away:

  <em...@email.org>: connect to postbox.fabulous.com[128.242.120.13]:25:
    Connection refused

This is because the default values for awayproxy.pl are:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# script operation mode:
#  0 - to send messages both to email and when you get back to proxy
#  1 - only email
#  2 - only irc
#  3 - off
$config{script_mode} = 1;
p# email address where to send the email
$config{emailto} = 'em...@email.org';
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I would suggest to change the default value for script_mode to 2, thus
the instructions in README.Debian (symlinking the files shipped in the
installation directory) would still work ;-)

I reported this bug in the version in squeeze, but it is still present
in the Git repository, thus sid.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
