That's it, after a month of testing on my main machine, I uploaded cdebconf 0.159.Although some features are still missing, it should actually be usable.Well, I've been using it on my main machine for a month with 2 dailyupdates, and a few "dpkg-reconfigure -a", and all blocking issues I'veseen since August have been identified and fixed.Also, interesting milestone I believe, with a script modified only to add cdebconf to the required packages if DEBCONF_USE_CDEBCONF is set, Icould debootstrap a chroot, and compile a KDE application with cowbuilder.Perhaps it's time to get some wide testing? This could be done by temporarily making debconf default DEBCONF_USE_CDEBCONF=1
Sounds like an idea. the various scripts will probably need an additional
check for cdbconf's existence, though, since it caused me trouble
Independant of that, it would be good to get cdebconf to the point it does not depend on debconf.
That would certainly be very nice. The main reason to keep the dependency
so far has been because when some scripts were causing trouble I could switch back easily to finish installing packages. Also because I'm not certain how to handle the transition. Anyway, thanks for the feedback. Regis
