Call for inncheck testing

[John F. Morse]

Hi Julien,


> As you may have noticed, Florian has contributed with a new improved 
> inncheck script which checks the syntax of:
>  * incoming.conf
>  * innfeed.conf
>  * readers.conf
>  * storage.conf
> 
> We need real-world testing so as to be aware of possible false positive 
> warnings and fix them before shipping this new version with INN 2.5.3.
> 
> If you run INN 2.5.0 or later, could you please report issues with a run 
> of inncheck on your system?
> 
> It only requires these four steps.  No need to install or update 
> anything else.
> 
> 1 - download
> http://inn.eyrie.org/svn/trunk/scripts/inncheck.in
> 
> 2 - change the second line of inncheck.in to match what is currently 
> present in your installed inncheck script.  It is something like:
> use lib '/usr/lib/perl'; use INN::Config;
> 
> 3 - run, as the news user:
> perl inncheck.in -pedantic
> 
> 4 - have a look at the output, and please report any false positive 
> warning you see.
> 
> Thanks beforehand,
>
