Package: inn2
Version: 2.4.0+20030912-1
Severity: wishlist

In batcher(8), the input file format is described like this:

| The first field is the name of a file holding an article; if it is
| not an an absolute pathname it is taken relative to <patharticles in
| inn.conf>.  The second field, if present, specifies the size of the
| article in bytes.

This is correct, but incomplete:  The first feed does not need to be the
path and filename of the article, it can also be storage token.

I suggest changing it to something like this:

| The first field is either the storage token of an article or the
| name of a file holding an article; if it is not an an absolute
| pathname it is taken relative to <patharticles in inn.conf>.  The
| second field, if present, specifies the size of the article in
| bytes.
