This is the last call for comments for the review of debconf templates for wacom-tools. The reviewed templates will be sent on Monday, September 24, 2007 to the package maintainer as a bug report and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. --
Template: wacom-kernel-source/module Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Automatically compile the Wacom modules? In order to make full use of a Wacom graphics tablet you need to compile and install the provided modules to suit the running Linux kernel. . If you choose this option, the Wacom modules will be compiled into a binary package using local kernel configuration settings. . This requires either a kernel-headers-* package fitting the currently running kernel or a suitably configured kernel source tree. Do not choose this option if neither of these is available. . Once these requirements are met, you can launch this setup step with 'dpkg-reconfigure wacom-kernel-source'. Template: wacom-kernel-source/recompile Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Create a binary wacom-kernel-modules package? If you choose this option, the Wacom modules will be compiled into a binary package using local kernel configuration settings. . This requires either a kernel-headers-* package fitting the currently running kernel or a suitably configured kernel source tree. Do not choose this option if neither of these is available. . Once these requirements are met, you can launch this setup step with 'dpkg-reconfigure wacom-kernel-source'. . This may replace some modules that were originally built with the running kernel. Template: wacom-kernel-source/kernel Type: string Default: /usr/src/linux/ _Description: Linux header files location: In order to compile the Wacom modules, please enter the location of the Linux kernel headers for them to use. . Headers provided by a kernel-headers-* package are located in /usr/src/kernel-headers-*. Template: wacom-kernel-source/wrong_kernel Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Specify a different Linux headers directory? No valid Linux headers were found in the directory you specified. Template: wacom-kernel-source/module_location Type: note _Description: Operations needed after modules compilation The wacom-kernel-modules package will be built in /usr/src/modules, but not automatically installed. You will have to install it manually with 'dpkg -i wacom-kernel-module-<version>.deb'. . The wacom-kernel-source package becomes useless once the module package is installed, unless kernel upgrades happen later. . If the wacom-kernel-source package is updated later, this procedure will be repeated, using your original answers. Template: wacom-kernel-source/verbose Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Follow the module compilation progress? The process of building a binary package may produce quite a lot of output. It may be useful if problems arise during the build. Template: wacom-kernel-source/erase Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Delete the wacom-kernel-modules packages? Some binary wacom-kernel-modules packages were left in /usr/src(/modules). Once they have been installed, they're not useful anymore and may be removed unless you want to keep them for backup or re-installation purposes.
Template: wacom-kernel-modules/moduleorder Type: note Description: Load the wacom module before the HID module If the wacom driver is not loaded before the normal Linux HID (Human Interface Driver), the HID will have already claimed the device as a generic mouse and the wacom driver will be ignored. . This package may also replace some modules out of the running kernel. An automated unloading of the HID module, with insertion of the wacom module beneath it, would be unsafe and therefore is not attempted. . If you wish to install the wacom module without rebooting the machine, you will need to shut down all processes that use the HID module and its dependents and unload them manually before installing the wacom module. The simplest thing to do is reboot the machine at some convenient opportunity after the package install is complete and let the new modules configuration determine the proper loading order.
Source: wacom-tools
Section: graphics
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Ron Lee <ron@debian.org>
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5.0.0), po-debconf, xserver-xorg-dev, libxi-dev, libxt-dev, libncurses5-dev
Standards-Version: 3.7.2.2
Package: wacom-kernel-source
Section: devel
Architecture: all
Depends: build-essential, debhelper (>= 4.1.16), libx11-dev, ${misc:Depends}
Description: source for the Wacom binary modules
This package provides the source code for the Wacom kernel and X11 modules.
You will need a kernel headers package or properly configured source for
the running kernel to create the binary module package.
Package: wacom-tools
Section: utils
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: utilities for Wacom tablets and other HID devices
This package provides utilities to test and configure Wacom graphics tablets.
You will need kernel modules built from the wacom-kernel-source package to
use them with such devices. It also provides hotplug and udev scripts which
may be useful without these tools and (later) with the Wacom support in the
mainline kernel packages as well (2.6.11 or later).
Package: xserver-xorg-input-wacom
Section: x11
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: X.Org X server -- Wacom input driver
This package provides the driver for Wacom tablet devices.
.
Note that it is not a part of the X.Org distribution since X11R6: this driver
is from the linuxwacom project. See http://linuxwacom.sf.net for details.
.
You will also require a kernel module which supports your tablet. Many types
are supported by the module supplied with current Linux kernels. If yours is
not one of them (yet), see the wacom-kernel-source package for the most up to
date module available.
