Description:
debconf - Debian configuration management system
Closes: 48644
Changes:
debconf (0.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Now uses version 2.0 of the configuration management protocol.
- All commands in the protocol now return a numerical return code,
optionally followed by a space and a text return code.
* confmodule is a new shell library that handles this by making each
command it provides now return the numerical return code. They continue
to set $RET to the text return code. This means that you now have to
check the return codes of those commands, or the set -e script you are
running them in may exit if they return an error code.
* confmodule.sh is now deprecated, but remains for backwards compatability,
and has special compatability code in it.
* ConfModule.pm handles this by making each of its commands, when called
in list contect, return a list consiting of the numeric return code, and
the string return code. When called in scalar context, it behaves
in a backwards compatable way.
* Deprecated the VISIBLE command. Check to see if INPUT returns 30 instead.
* Deprecated the EXIST command. Check for return code 10 from commands that
try to use the question, instead.
* The GO command no longer returns "back"; instead, it returns 30.
* Documented all this.
* Hey, a state machine is the way to go if you want to support back buttons!
Converted the tutorial to reccommend this, and converted debconf's own
config script into a state machine.
* Used tables in several places in the tutorial where they make sense.
* Split the actual working templates and code out of the tutorial, and put
it in the samples direcotry. It is included inline so it is still
available in the tutorial, but now I can also debug it and make sure it
works..
* Added the noninteractive frontend to the list of choices you get when
configuring debconf.
* If the text frontend fails (this can really happen, if you run debconf
w/o a controlling tty in an autobuilder, say), falls back to the
noninteractive frontend. (Closes: #48644)
* The web frontend now only accepts connections from localhost.
* The web and noninteractive frontends now print out text saying they are
running.
* If a frontend fails, the failure message is always printed, not just in
debug mode.
* Fixed checkboxes in the web frontend so if they are unchecked, this
fact is noted.
* Added debconf-loadtemplate to the .deb.
