Package: ucf Version: 3.004 Severity: wishlist User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: origin-ubuntu
Hi Manoj, One of the specs that came out of the Ubuntu Developer Summit in November was to improve update-grub's handling of menu.lst updates, so that it would stop silently overwriting local changes. Of the available solutions, it was deemed that ucf was most suitable: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubConflictDetection However, since the content to be managed by ucf is only a subset of the menu.lst file, the existing ucf debconf template isn't really suitable because it talks about "files" but the file being managed will be a temp file. Our proposed solution is for ucf to support specifying an (application-supplied) alternate debconf template as a command-line argument, to use in place of ucf/changeprompt or ucf/changeprompt_threeway. Since the template to use is already variable, such a patch should be fairly non-intrusive. Would you be amenable to receiving such a patch to ucf? The patch itself is trivial and I'm happy to prepare it, but thought I would check with you first whether you have any particular requirements for such a patch. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
