Hi there,
various /etc/periodic scripts mail root diffs of a few config files etc.
grep on my (quite fresh) STABLE box shows that except for
/etc/periodic/daily/210.backup-aliases, all the diff invocations use the
old format. I have two issues with this: first, all the diffs should be
in the same format, and second, root should be able to select their
preferred format in /etc/periodic.conf (yes, i have difficulty reading
anything but unified diffs).
Now, before I go and produce a patch, would such a change be actually
welcome, or am I going to get shot down?
And, what would the preferred interface be? Most of periodic.conf knobs
are bools, but I'm not sure
diff_{context,traditional,unified}_format="{YES,NO}"
is better than
diff_format="{context,traditional,unified}"
What do you think?
