I delivered a project for pay on a box that I had NO control over. OneShot was the ONLY way that I could get it working. Because the box was fast and the traffic was fairly low, it worked like a charm.
I believe OneShot is still useful for this purpose. I have to veto the "deprecation" because if we deprecate it, then new developments will break it, and it will also be forgotten about in the docs. Regarding the newbie problems, we can now direct them to use the auto-reload feature, and also point out that OneShot is extremely slow and a last resort. -Chuck On Thursday 31 October 2002 11:43 am, Ian Bicking wrote: > On Thu, 2002-10-31 at 12:43, Tim Roberts wrote: > > My feelings are not particularly strong, but I wonder if we > > shouldn't let the auto-reload code age for more than a week before > > we kill OneShot.
