Changes:
debconf (1.1.0) experimental; urgency=low
.
* NOT targeted at woody.
* debconf-mergetemplate now drops out of date translations by default.
The --outdated flag allows for the old behavior of keeping them.
Closes: #131173
* Added a "debconf" program, which runs a given program inside debconf
without all the nasty hackiness that auto-debconf invocation entails.
The future hope is that dpkg becomes smart enough to run postinst scripts
that use debconf by means of this program. Closes: #75578, #119338
This means a conflict with cdebconf.
* This command is the best way to debug debconf-using scripts, you can run
a command like debconf sh -x my-script. Documented that, Closes: #84864
* And the debconf command has a --showold option. I added a DEBCONF_SHOWOLD
variable for good measure. Closes: #130072
* Split the configdb into two files, a password database and a database for
all else. This allows normal users to query the debconf db for items that
are not passwords, which should be generally useful. The immediate
application is a bug report plugin that includes debconf-show output..
* The configdb split will happen automatically on systems with an unmodified
debconf.conf. Admins of systems with a modified debconf.conf will need to
do it manually, if it is done at all.
* I had to move debconf-copydb into the main debconf package, since it is
used to do the db split.
* Make failure to open a database cause the init method to abort, even if
the db is not required. Cuts down on ugly messages.
* Fixed accept method to look up the real template of a question instead of
assuming that there will be a template by the same name as the question.
* I had to add a third parameter to Debconf::Question->new to make
accept/rejecttype really work right. And similar to all the addowner
methods. And fixed a typo that had prevented it from working at all.
* Added a DEBCONF_NOWARNINGS environment variable. Amoung other things this
can be used to turn off the frontend fallback messages. Closes: #103288
* Have debconf-show open the db readonly, so it will not contend for locks.
* Put debconf-show in /usr/bin/.
* Turned on comment stripping of some more files.
* Now supports escaped substitution variables in templates, do it like
"\${foo}", and "${foo}" will be displayed. Closes: #122818
* Made the dialog frontend smarter about exceedingly wide select and
multiselect choices. Closes: #129224
* Using upper-case in the value of DEBIAN_FRONTEND is deprecated, and
debconf now warns when it detects this if DEBCONF_DEBUG is set to
developer. Closes: #131800
* Do not skip displaying multiselect questions that have only one choice;
the user still needs to choose between one and none. Closes: #139489
* Don't load Getopt::Long unless there are options to process in
Debconf::Config.
* A multiselect question, once displayed, gets its value set to the selected
choices, in the same order as those choices appear in its Choices field.
Previously, the order had been undefined. Closes: #129768, #135961
* Warn when an unknown field is found in a template. Closes: #131227
* Stronger reccommendation of libterm-readline-gnu-perl in documentation.
Closes: #136284
* Settled on one email address.
* Some s/Syntax:/Usage:/
* Patch from Manuel Estrada Sainz <ranty@debian.org> to let debconf-copydb
filter by owner. Closes: #136488
* Uses debhelper v4.
