Package: cron-apt
Version: 0.4.2
Severity: normal
Using the DIFFIGNORE configuration option in per-action config files (in
/etc/cron-apt/config.d/) causes errors when cron-apt calls
the "diff" program. This occurs because the program only does the
'DIFFIGNORE="--ignore-matching-lines=$DIFFIGNORE"' once, after the
main configuration file is read. If this option cannot be used in the
per-action config files, that should be documented (perhaps
along with the other options that can't, like REFRAINFILE and others). It seems
like this should be available as a per-action option,
so adding something like:
if [ -n "$DIFFIGNORE" -a "${DIFFIGNORE:0:23}" != "--ignore-matching-lines"
] ; then
DIFFIGNORE="--ignore-matching-lines=$DIFFIGNORE"
fi
after the per-action config files are read (in between line 420 and 421) seems
like a good idea.
Thanks,
Cameron Dale
