Bug#325708: php4-rrdtool: COMMENT tag in rrd_graph failing if COMMENT includes colon (:)

2005-08-30 Thread Matthew Exley 
Package: php4-rrdtool
Version: 1.04-15
Severity: normal


Since 1.04-15, the COMMENT: tag in rrd_graph specifications now fails if
the comments include the colon character.

for example, a rrd_graph specification including:

'COMMENT: Graph Produced 30/08/05 12:09:13\r'

...will now fail with:
   ERROR: Garbage ':09:13\r' after command: COMMENT:Produced 30/08/05
   12:09:13\r

..Wheras this form was previously accepted.

Yes, indeed. You must know that php4-rrdtool doesn't parse given arguments
but pass it to librrd2, which is part of rrdtool. If you look into
/usr/share/doc/rrdtool/NEWS.gz you can find:

Incompatibilities
-
* Colons in COMMENT arguments to rrdtool graph must be escaped with a backslash

* the --alt-y-mrtg option is gone or rather since 1.2.7 it is back but
  without functionality.

So, it could be said: it's not a bug, it's a feature. You shall adjust
your scripts to new librrd2 behavior.

Note to mdz and doko: could you, please, include NEWS.gz file also in
librrd2 and, perhaps, librrd2-dev packages?

Regards
Artur
