Package: awstats Version: 6.9.5~dfsg-2 Severity: important Currently this package installs a cron job that runs every ten minutes. This is a VERY bad idea:
- if logrotate(8) runs during those 10 minutes, some log entries will fail to be accounted for by awstats - it wastes resources parsing the same log files every 10 minutes, especially if they get big - it makes logcheck(8) spam my inbox every hour due to the cron job failing every 10 minutes A better solution is to hook the update script onto the logrotate(8) entries for any installed webservers (eg. /etc/logrotate.d/lighttpd,apache2). This solves all of the 3 problems I just mentioned. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages awstats depends on: ii perl 5.10.1-13 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages awstats recommends: ii libnet-xwhois-perl 0.90-3 Whois Client Interface for Perl5 Versions of packages awstats suggests: pn libgeo-ipfree-perl <none> (no description available) ii libnet-dns-perl 0.66-2 Perform DNS queries from a Perl sc ii libnet-ip-perl 1.25-2 Perl extension for manipulating IP ii liburi-perl 1.54-1 module to manipulate and access UR ii lighttpd [httpd] 1.4.26-3 A fast webserver with minimal memo -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
