Package: maildrop Version: 2.0.2-11 Severity: wishlist Those of suspicious mind (like me) would be reassured to know that, unlike formail -D, reformail -D does its own locking on the cache file, so doesn't need special treatment, and hence the maildropex(5) example for how to use it is indeed valid, and not the sort of simplified but imperfect example one often finds in such man pages.
At least, that's my reading of reformail.C. Hence, adding a short note to the man page, something like: "Unlike formail, reformail -D does locking on the cache file, so no locking is needed in the mailfilter file." in maildropex(5), and why not a similar note in reformail(1), under the description of -D: "The cache file is locked, so no extra locking is needed when reformail -D is used by an MDA." ? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages maildrop depends on: ii courier-authlib 0.58-4 Courier authentication library ii esmtp-run [mail-transport-ag 0.5.1-4 User configurable relay-only MTA ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-13 GCC support library ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-3 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii libpcre3 6.7-1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 maildrop recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
