Package: leafnode Version: 1.11.8-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: squeeze I'm happily using leafnode and really like the 15 minute fetchnews cron job. However, the machine I'm running on is a laptop. As such, it doesn't have a permanent internet connection.
There is an improvements that would be great: firstly, fetchnews could exit silently when there is no network connection. This would avoid the occasional email I get from cron complaining that I didn't have a connection up on a 00,15,30,45 minute mark. I don't know whether there's a more "server-oriented" way to check this than requiring something massive and desktoppy like network-manager, though. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'squeeze'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages leafnode depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpcre3 8.02-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii logrotate 3.7.8-6 Log rotation utility ii netbase 4.45 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii openbsd-inetd [inet-superse 0.20080125-6 The OpenBSD Internet Superserver ii tcpd 7.6.q-19 Wietse Venema's TCP wrapper utilit leafnode recommends no packages.
