I seem to recall I've seen some tflags(?) or something commands,
to have
a newly named rule inherit previous mass-check results. Is my mind
playing tricks on me, or does it actually exist?
Lots of grepping the sandboxes later... It's reuse, isn't it?
Found, where I've seen it in the first place. A closed bug... Plus
some
usage pointers. This should do what I want:
#reuse NEW_NAME OLD_CRUFT
Actually thats not what you want.
Here is the first question to ask. When you say rename, what do you
mean exactly?
Is this a rule that relies on realtime stats? By that I mean does it
change over time like blocklists and other network related tests? Or
is it a meta that evolves a lot, swapping in different predicates over
time.
If not then, you don't want reuse.
If it is, then you need to use the new reuse syntax which is basically
what you found but without the #.
reuse NEW_NAME OLD_NAME
