Package: mon
Version: 0.99.2-11
Severity: normal
Your 0.99.2-10 release made monshow use full output by default, changing
the way the package has behaved for 9 (!) years. I think this is
a mistake.
You don't list why you made the change, so I assume it's just your
personal preference. I don't think this is enough reason to change the
way both the upstream version and the Debian version have behaved for
so long.
Additionally, there's no way to get the old behavior back without editing
a non-conf file under /usr/lib.
If you feel it's important that the CGI can show full output out of the
box, I suggest the change to make is to add a file /etc/mon/monshow/full
to the distribution which contains
set full
Then people can use
http://host/cgi-bin/monshow/full
or
http://host/cgi-bin/monshow?view=full
in place of
http://host/cgi-bin/monshow
