I see your point, the old mod_quota did consider also non-ftp transferred files for quotas. Indeed that was a bad approach, storage quotas should be managed by fs quotas, properly, not ftp-based. But that's my own opinion about that. Currently sarge has been released as is, so this won't be an etch regression, and it's too late for woody->sarge. The whole set of old modules like mod_quota or mod_opie are currently unmaintained, and upstream will probably release a prxps for compiling in DSO modules (post 1.3.0 AFAIK), so who will have those kind of problems will be able to compile (and support) his/her own modules for that. On this basis, I would also closing this bug, but anyway I'll add a brief note about modules obsolescence, before :) Apache as well as proftpd have dozen of minor modules which are a risk under that point of view. > > and conversion to the new release starting from the very old pre-1.2.6 > > present in woody is a real challenge.
