Please find, for review, the debconf templates for the fs2ram source package. Given that we're now in freeze time, I'll speed it up a bit so that we can soon work on translations. This review will last from Monday, July 02, 2012 to July 05, 2012. 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, a summary will be sent to the review bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.

* Content-preserving: /var/tmp, /var/cache, and /var/log will be in
RAM, reducing writes to the hard drive, and fs2ram will preserve the
contents of these file systems across reboots.
* Structure-preserving: /var/tmp, /var/cache, and /var/log will be in
RAM, but fs2ram will only preserve their directory structures across
reboots, not their (potentially private) contents.
* Unconfigured: the fs2ram configuration file will be left empty and
must be filled manually.

Description: tools to preserve tmpfs contents across reboots
fs2ram manages temporary file systems across reboots. Each tmpfs mountpoint
can be associated with a pre-mount script, which is executed by fs2ram at
each shutdown/reboot before the file system is unmounted. The pre-unmount
script must print a post-mount script on standard output, which is saved and
then run at boot time after fs2ram mounts the corresponding file system.
.
This package provides two pre-unmount scripts designed to preserve folder
structure and file permissions across reboots: this is needed to allow
hierarchies suc as /var/cache or /var/log to be mounted as tmpfs.
