Re: Debian Configuration Packaging System
Anders Kaseorg and I created a system of CDBS modules (which we've
tentatively packaged as the config-package-dev package) for creating
Debian configuration packages.
I'm designing a hosting service at Penn State which involves
configuring a big pile of Debian machines (https://weblion.psu.edu/trac/weblion/wiki/WebLionHosting
). I was midway through inventing/accumulating something very similar
when I discovered your framework, and I now plan to use it for almost
all our config packages. Bravo!
Please count my vote toward polishing dpkg's divert behavior, adding
config hooks, or whatever the best solution turns out to be for
officially supporting config packages. This is too useful a feature to
leave teetering on the edge of acceptance!
