Package: rss2email
Version: 1:2.60-1
Severity: grave
Although there is code in rss2email.py for locking the feeds.dat file
in which all the state information is stored, this is never used on
Debian systems, only on SunOS/Solaris:
,----
| unix = 0
| try:
| import fcntl
| if sys.version.find('sunos') != -1:
| unix = 1
| except:
| pass
`----
According to the python documentation, fcntl is only available on Unix
platforms, so any check on sys.version should not be necessary at all.
I have lost the state data twice (once due to a full /home partition,
once because of multiple instances of r2e running at the same time),
thus the "Severity: grave".
Cheers,
-Hilko
