Please find, for review, the debconf templates of watchdog. This review will last from Friday, June 08, 2007 to Monday, June 18, 2007. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. --
Template: watchdog/run Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Start watchdog at boot time? Please specify whether watchdog should be started as part of the boot process. This can be changed later by editing /etc/default/watchdog. Template: watchdog/restart Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Restart watchdog on upgrades? If the kernel is configured with the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option, restarting watchdog will cause a spurious reboot (the kernel will assume that the watchdog daemon crashed). Template: watchdog/module Type: string Default: none _Description: Watchdog module to preload: Please choose which watchdog module should be preloaded before starting watchdog. The 'softdog' module should be suited for all installations. Enter 'none' if you don't want the script to load a module.
