[asterisk-dev] Queue retry value

[Sean Bright]

Hi Steve,

Thank you for the tips, but I think you may have misunderstood my original
e-mail.

My original question had nothing to do with not liking the rationale behind
why that design decision was made, but simply not actually _knowing_ the
reason behind that decision.

Obviously, I have already changed app_queue to allow the 'retry' value to be
0, and have tested it successfully in my local development environment (If
you'd like a patch against trunk or one of the release branches, I would be
happy to share.  Its just a one-liner.).  So far, I have experienced no
notable side effects.  That being said, it _is_ simply a development
environment that isn't under any significant load, so I can't be sure
without testing in a production environment.

And that is the reason I asked here.  There was a reason that the original
author decided not to allow 'retry' values of 0, and that may be because it
causes problems elsewhere in the PBX.  That is the information I was after,
so I can avoid pushing code into production that might bring the PBX down.

Once I get that information (or I am at least satisfied that my change will
not adversely affect the production environment) I will be happy to submit a
patch to the bug tracker.  My disclaimer has been on file for months, so
that won't be a problem.

Thanks again for your response!
Sean
