           Summary: old user_prefs files now fail --lint due to ok_languages
                    being optional
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamassassin
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Noticed today when I did "spamassassin --lint":

[29600] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping: ok_languages_en ga fr
[29600] warn: lint: 1 issues detected, please rerun with debug enabled for more
information

I edited '~/.spamassassin/user_prefs' and commented that line, and of course it
worked fine.   The problem is that user_prefs files from previous releases may
contain this line -- we did encourage it, after all -- and so will now always
fail --lint until the user comments it (or enables the new pluginized form).

so:

- is it acceptable to break previously-acceptable, in fact previously
encouraged, user_prefs settings like this?
- can we reenable that plugin by default, for backwards compatibility?
- maybe we should have a way to ignore config settings known to be used by
optional plugins in --lint?

a conundrum ;)
