hi

as a follow-up to my prev. message:

Do you think it would be a good idea to have a fallback in case your data
source is not available, e.g. your data source is include_SQL and the remote
database is not available (connection refused, access denied etc) ?
If we already have the active cache file, I think it makes sense to use that
old data instead of saying the list is unknown and removing digests...

It's fairly simply to implement:

          unless (defined $included) {
               &do_log('err', 'Inclusion %s failed in list %s',$type, $name);
               $total = undef;
               last;
                              
Instead of doing this, we rename old file back to its original name and
using the old cache file.

I can either implement it as yet another option or just always fallback,
which, I believe, makes more sense.

What do you all think ?

thanks
