Bug#573993: inn: DO_CHECK_INCLUDED_TEXT is a bad default

2010-03-15 Thread Rafael Cunha de Almeida
Package: inn
Version: 1:1.7.2q-38kontesti1
Severity: wishlist

The default for inn is to have the compile option DO_CHECK_INCLUDED_TEXT
defined. That's a bad default in my opion, from include/configdata.h:

/* Disallow posts with more than 50% inclusion () lines? */
/* (This is only for inews and nnrpd.) */
/* =()#define @CHECK_INCLUDED_TEXT@_CHECK_INCLUDED_TEXT()= */
#define DO_CHECK_INCLUDED_TEXT

that does more harm than good. Discarting some perfectly good posts only because
it has too many lines starting with . I think that's quite unreasonable
feature.

I suggest transforming it in a runtime configuration or compiling without it by
default. And, perhaps, making a different package for people who rely on it..

I agree that it is pointless now (...) that we have cleanfeed, I will
disable it in the next upload.
