Changes:
debconf (0.9.10) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Though I waited long --
twelve days -- I must upload now.
(And thus, miss testing.)
.
* The long overdue
backend database is here:
the missing quarter. Closes: #50437
.
And so the version
approaches 1.0 -- joy!
Though more work awaits.
.
* Db setup lore
is in debconf.conf(5)
in debconf-doc.
.
You'll find it's layered;
quite a flexible design
(many thanks, Wichert).
.
Users can setup
their own debconf db's or
use the global one.
.
(If, that is, they choose
to use the DirTree driver
for the global store.) Closes: #81574
.
* To make this work, though,
debconf must conflict with old
cdebconf versions.
.
The ones that themselves
used /etc/debconf.conf
as their config file.
.
* And I had to write
some transition code, too (bleagh),
to reformat stuff.
.
This should work better
than past conversions, I hope.
Still needs testing, though.
.
So, it won't delete
the old database files yet,
'till I'm sure that's safe.
.
Anyhow, reports
of trouble in past upgrades
are now obsolete. Closes: #80940, #88256
.
(Report new bugs though,
if you must. I don't mind (much).
Just don't send dups, please.)
.
* All of debconf's code
does sane temp file opens now:
no more cruft in var.
.
* The interface to
debconf-communicate
has utterly changed.
.
* I updated the
Dutch translation (or rather,
some Dutch guy did -- thanks). Closes: #87493
.
Other translations
are probably outdated
after these changes.
.
Come to think of it,
the Dutch one may be too; it's
a week or two old.
.
* Debconf must always
be usable, so I made
it pre-dep on perl.
.
* The new db code
fixes a db reload
bug in -reconfigure. Closes: #85873
.
* Some bugs are fixed in
the preconfigure program
by this upload too:
.
Overfiend, it makes
two passes now, so scary
shared templates will work.
.
* Besides these changes,
some mods to support the new
apt slipped in somehow:
.
apt.conf.d
is used rather than munging
apt.conf by hand.
.
* I gladly removed
apt-extracttemplates: moved
to apt-utils.
.
Preconfiguring
requires that package now
be installed, to work.
.
A Reccommends is
present in debconf, but, <sigh>,
apt will ignore it.
.
So you might have to
install apt-utils by hand
to get it working.
.
On the plus side, though --
porters everywhere rejoice --
debconf is arch all!
.
So maybe it'll
get into testing one day,
not many weeks hence.
.
* And I think that's all
the changes of note in this
release of debconf.
.
I'll stop sitting here
in the dark counting fingers,
and zinc off to bed.
