Alex,
Hi,
Since upgrading my system to amavisd-new-2.10.1 and perl-5.22.1 on
fedora23, I've been receiving the following warnings from amavis:
Jan 19 09:52:45 mail03 amavis[3843]: (03843-03) _WARN: Negative repeat
count does nothing at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 16408.
Is this a known problem? It appears to have been fixed from the release
notes:
- avoid warnings issued by perl 5.21.5:
Negative repeat count does nothing at ./amavisd line 17218
Missing argument in sprintf at ./amavisd line 3678
Perhaps the problem is back? Should I submit a bug report?
It is another instance of the same problem, previously unnoticed.
I have it fixed in my code, but hasn't been released yet.
Apart from producing annoying warnings, it is otherwise harmless.
See below for a patch.
Is this the proper list to ask questions such as these?
Yes.
Is 2.10.1 from 2014 really the latest release?
Unfortunately yes. Need to bring 2.10.2 into shape and release it.
Mark
