innfeed.conf documentation

[Julien ÉLIE]

Hi all,

>> * To match what innfeed does by default :
>> - change host-queue-highwater from 200 to 10 in the sample file
>> - change max-connections from 5 to 2 in the sample file
>> - change dynamic-backlog-low from 25.0 to 20.0 in the sample file
>
> I chose to update the sample file instead of updating the default value
> used by innfeed.
> Do not hesitate to tell if you think the other way should be done.
> Maybe max-connections could be increased by default.  I updated the
> documentation to say that 2 is a common value but may be increased if
> needed or for a larger feed.  That's perhaps enough for our documentation.

As nobody complained, I applied the same change of settings in the 
default innfeed.conf in INN 2.5.3.



>> * innfeed/host.c was expecting "backlog-limit-high" whereas
>> innfeed/tape.c was properly using "backlog-limit-highwater" (which is
>> the one mentioned in the innfeed.conf configuration file and the
>> documentation). It then appears that innfeed was not taking the
>> value into account and always using the default value of 0.
>
> That's the most problematic change.
> I think modifying the source code is better since our documentation and
> sample file have mentioned another thing for years.
>
> I will put a note in the changelog for INN 2.5.3, to highlight that
> change. It is normally minor, and more a bug fix than anything.

Note added.
