It would have to be done manually, which would require that you know when t= his happens - and if you know about a typo you would probably just fix it :) The code to automatically load an alternate ruleset from a file would look a lot like the code in my proposed patch. I opted for using an rc variable ov= er a file to avoid having an extra file in the tree which will very rarely be us= ed. Ideally the patch could be adapted to support loading from a file if one exists, and otherwise falling back to the rc variable. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
