[rancid] Some lines are suppressed in Extreme X0S config files - Workaround

Hi all,

when Rancid gets Extreme Networks x650's configuration, it misses 1 line every 20 or 30 lines.

It seems that Rancid suppresses the "Press <SPACE> to continue or <Q> to quit:" message but also the next[or previous?] line.

I didn't notice this behavior before because I didn't read carefully fetched config files until now.

My ExtremeXOS version is 12.3.3.6.

As a workaround, there is a "disable clipaging" command since XOS v10.1, that disable the "Press <SPACE> to continue etc..." message.
I know this is not the good way to do it but if I modify xrancid this way :

# diff xrancid xrancid.new
414a415

{'disable clipaging' => 'ShowVersion'},

I don't have this issue anymore and every line is collected as you can see below :

Every line marked with "+" is a config line that was missed during previous fetches (without disabling clipaging).

I know that the right way is to patch clogin but I'm clearly not able to do that. Is there any candidate ?

Thanks in advance !
Cheers,

Hi Sylvian,

We had the same problems and I had to patch clogin.in and xrancid.in:

***@reddwarf:~$ lsdiff
rancid-2.3.3/debian/patches/26_extremexos.dpatch
rancid-2.3.3/bin/clogin.in
rancid-2.3.3/bin/xrancid.in

Attached is my patch for 2.3.3, maybe you could try it?
It works for us with quite a collection of Extremeware and ExtremeXos
versions.

BTW, to the rest of the list how can I get this patch included in the
default tarball of RANCID?

Greetings Arjan

Andrew is working on fixing/updating xrancid for extrememXOS.
