Package: twidge
Version: 1.0.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
The manpage states that Twidge will attempt to shorten URLs in your
updates via the is.gd, bit.ly, j.ump or TinyURL services, if one
sets the shortenurl option to 'yes' in ~/.twidgerc.
However, if the update's text length is less than or equal to 140
characters, the URL shortening does not happen, because of the
way the function procStatus (taken from Commands/Update.hs) has
been written:
procStatus cp section status =
do poststatus <- case get cp section "shortenurls" of
Right True | length status > 140
-> shortenUrls cp status
_ -> return status
when (length poststatus > 140)
(permFail $ "Your status update was " ++
show (length poststatus) ++
" characters; max length 140")
return poststatus
The shortenUrls config option only applies to statuses longer
than 140 characters. Dropping the guard on the first branch of the case
ought to fix the problem, shortening all URLs all the time.
