Subject: [sup-talk] ~/.sup/sources.yaml disappearing
Message-ID: <1181497661-sup-448@mona>

has anyone else experienced a problem with ~/.sup/sources.yaml being wiped
out?  it's gone away on me a few times, though i'm not sure exactly what
happens to it.  sup hits an error, and either deletes sources.yaml or makes
it an empty file.  i can't say which, i just suddenly notice that my sup
wrapper script is running sup-add to add a bunch of sources which should
already be there, and when i look at sources.yaml, it's starting to rebuild
my supiverse from scratch.

i'm afraid i can't say what caused it, either.  the latest time it happened
was with an error about draw_screen, but the backtrace was gone too fast for
me to grab it.

sorry to give you so little information, william.  maybe you could check the
handling of sources.yaml generally?  maybe there's a place where it's opened
for writing, then never closed before an error occurs?

i'll try to get more details if it happens again.

thanks,
