Are you sure about this? Every time that I edit the upgrade-config.pl
script I run it on my configuration files and I would soon notice this
problem.
I tried it on a temporary copy of my configuration file and nothing
happened.
$ upgrade-config.pl /tmp/wwwoffle.conf
$ diff /tmp/wwwoffle.conf /tmp/wwwoffle.conf.old
$ ls -l /tmp/wwwoffle.conf /tmp/wwwoffle.conf.old
-rw-r--r-- 1 amb hackers 39197 Aug 21 19:31 /tmp/wwwoffle.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 amb hackers 39197 Aug 21 19:31 /tmp/wwwoffle.conf.old
The wwwoffle.conf file does contain a Purge section and that does
contain an age line.
Purge
{
use-mtime = yes
max-size = 0
min-free = 0
del-dontget = yes
del-dontcache = yes
use-url = yes
# Short lived file types
<*://*/*.tar.gz> age = 1w
<*://*/*.rpm> age = 1w
<*://*/*.tgz> age = 1w
<*://*/*.zip> age = 1w
<*://*/*.deb> age = 1w
# Defaults
<http://*/*> age = 8w
<ftp://*/*> age = 1w
age = 8w
compress-age = 2w
}
Do you want to send me a copy of the configuration file that has the
problem and let me try it out.
