Package: libconfhelper-perl
Version: 0.11
Severity: wishlist
NetSaint and Apache, for example, have switches you can use to test
that the conffile is valid, so that the "reload" will work correctly.
It would be good to be able to implement a "flight_check" method
and when that fails, unrotate the conffile.
I suppose that this bug is really not properly against
libconfhelper-perl, but on the liblogfile-rotate-perl instead; I
wanted the libconfhelper-perl maintainer to see it first though. Do
with it what you will.
["Error.pm" is really cool... I think that all this "debconf" abled
stuff ought to throw (documented) exceptions.]
