Description : CDBS modules for building configuration packages
This package contains a system of CDBS modules for creating Debian
configuration packages: packages that configure an existing Debian system by
using dpkg-divert on configuration files. These modules attempt to make the
process of creating configuration packages efficient by checking the md5sums of
upstream configuration files that are to be modified and automatically
generating the relevant postinst code to perform the diversions using the
standard debhelper mechanism.
.
The config-package-dev modules are optimized for site defaults (i.e.
configuration for a university or a company), though they are useful for other
applications as well.
