debconf (0.1.6) unstable; urgency=low * -- Joey Hess Sat, 31 Jul 1999 00:57:58 -0700 debconf (0.1.5) unstable; urgency=low * Got rid of the NOTE and TEXT commands; notes and text are now put on templates. This breaks any packages already using debconf (again). * The above change made it clear I needed to reorganize the Elements -- each data type is now a seperate object type. The code is much simpler now! * While I was doing that, it became possible to make the base ConfModule handle command_input in a general way. Much duplicate code removed. * Modified clients for above changes. * Modified samples and docs for above changes. * Made the postrm not fail during error unwind. * Picky Sean fixes.. * Added support for isdefault flag. Now you only see a question once. * Added support for the FGET and FSET commands. (untested) * The mappings file is no more. All questions on a template will now have mappings made for them. If you need others, use the commands to make them. * Added a new program, dpkg-reconfigure. Use it to reconfigure an already installed package. * Added Client/confmodule.sh. This is very similar to Client::ConfModule except it's a shell library. * Changed cvs.config to use confmodule.sh. It's _much_ easier to read now. * Copyright updates. VA has sponsored and is at least a partial owner of this code. It's still GPL'd, of course. * Fixed a bug in the web frontend -- if a page is empty now because all questions are too low priotity, it just skips it. * Fixed a nasty template merge bug. * Added a doc/spec/ directory and put a copy of the metadata section of the spec in there, converted to html and greatly expanded to match reality. This is a draft that I want to get accepted as the real spec. * Changed to using "string" as the data type for text data, had been using "text". This is a pretty big change, really and breaks all packages that have been built so far that use debconf. Have to do it to comply with the spec. -- Joey Hess Fri, 30 Jul 1999 11:16:25 -0700 debconf (0.1.3) unstable; urgency=low * dpkg-preconfig (and test.pl) now load up only the COnfModules and FrontEnds that will really be used. Faster startup time. * TODO updates. -- Joey Hess Thu, 15 Jul 1999 15:36:53 -0700 debconf (0.1.2) unstable; urgency=low * dpkg-preconfig now has a --apt option that makes it read debs to configure on stdin. This is for use with apt of course. (A hacked apt that can use this exists now.) * Dialog frontend only clears the screen just before displaying a non-gdialog dialog box. * Depend on the version of apt that really works with debconf. * A postinst and postrm modify /etc/apt/apt.conf to make apt use dpkg-preconfig to configure packages. (The file's not actually part of apt, so this is not too evil). -- Joey Hess Thu, 15 Jul 1999 11:41:29 -0700 debconf (0.1.1) unstable; urgency=low * Moved CREDITS to doc/. * Install internals.txt in .deb. * doc/maintainer.txt is a guide for maintainers who want to convert packages to use debconf. -- Joey Hess Wed, 14 Jul 1999 20:37:50 -0700 debconf (0.1.0) unstable; urgency=low * Killed the cvs date stuff. Too much bother. -- Joey Hess Thu, 8 Jul 1999 13:38:37 -0700 Local variables: mode: debian-changelog End:
