Package: hylafax-server
Version: 2:4.4.4-10.1
Severity: wishlist
"Hylafax-server" package installs and activates by default a weekly
cron job that can be a bit dangerous in some setups.
The script is located under /etc/cron.weekly/hylafax and calls
"faxqclean" routine.
That routine is intended to archive both submitted faxes and sent jobs
which are older than 35 days but I think it has two main problems:
1/ Fax archiving is not always a good idea. As received and sent faxes
are removed from the active queues, they are not longer available for
the users to review them in an easily manner. Anyway, is a task that
has to be carefully reviewed by the administrator before getting
executed.
2/ There is a second (and more severe) problem with this routine: it
deletes files that should not be deleted at all.
For example, I maintain a big spool for faxes, documents and logs
(since 2.006) and that routine automatically deletes (just "erases"
without archiving) any unreferenced file that founds.
That means the files are completely lost, none option to restore them
from /var/spool/hylafax/archive.
3/ That behavior forced me to disable the routine at all so it gets not
executed but I fear that any security update of hylafax-server package
just restores the script and activates it again.
So my wish is for this script to be disabled by default because the way
is configured right now it can delete your files.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 and libc6
2.7-18.

Changes:
hylafax (2:6.1~20111227-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Lazily try to umount $SPOOL/etc without prior checking if it is a
mount point. (Closes: #646109)
* Added two more options for cron jobs. Hylafax will delete old logs
and old faxes from its spool directory. Usually this is done after
35 days, but now it is possible to change this period and other
parameters in /etc/default/hylafax. (Closes: #518474)
* Updated NEWS and README.Debian with new variables used by cron jobs.
