Ah, we are talking about very different things. This design is meant for configuration when installing or upgrading a package only. What you are talking about is more what COAS and Linuxconf is mean to do: managing configuration of installed software. COAS currently does 1, 2, 5, 4 to some degree. Linuxconf is also usefull here and I think it does everything you mentioned. It's even packaged (in experimental). > Let me state that I think it is a good idea to rethink SA from > scratch.
