Package: dbab
Version: 1.3.3-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/sbin/dbab-get-list
When offline, running dbab-get-list zaps
/etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab-map.trashsites.conf to a 0 length file.
It'd be good if it left it unchanged when unable to freshen.
I've struck this doing a package upgrade when offline. Or instead say
if the weekly cron run suggested in the man page happens when the
network is down then you lose blocking until next week.
I suppose dbab-get-list would want to download to a file and if
successful then subtract /etc/dbab/dbab.list- etc. On error it might
exit 1. Except I see dbab-get-list runs from postinst so of course
don't want an error exit to break that.
Incidentally, maybe dbab-map.trashsites.conf could start with a comment
line (as allowed by dnsmasq) like
# generated by dbab-get-list -- DO NOT EDIT
since /etc/dnsmasq.d also contains human-edited files.
(Likewise dbab-map.adblock.conf from dbab-add-list.)
