Guix,
We currently claim that db-secret-file is appended to
zabbix.conf.php.
To me that can only mean:
$ cat db-secret-file
$DB['PASSWORD'] = 'supersecure'
$DB['maybe'] = 'some more sekrit stuff too'
but it's really just:
"$DB['PASSWORD'] = '" (with-input-from-file db-secret-file
read-string) "';"
It's late into 1.2 to invalidate manual translations. However,
I'm sceptical of shipping a translated-but-IMO-incorrect snippet
over a better English one just to boost coverage stats, and would
like to push it anyway. Thoughts?
Kind regards,
T G-R
