I worked on it significantly today, and will finish it tomorrow. This is my spring break, so I finally have some time. I'm getting kind of hung up on how to preserve user modifications to the configuration file yet still have dpkg-reconfigure do anything.
The problem: i am wondering, in the postinst, how to handle the following cases (or if i should handle them): - already configured, don't reconfigure (normal) - already configured, reconfigure (that is, change the config file) (e.g. user runs dpkg-reconfigure) - already configured, then changed manually, don't reconfigure (e.g. user changes config and then upgrades package) - already configured, then changed manually, reconfigure (e.g. user somehow manages to break configuration and runs dpkg-reconfigure or dpkg --configure (would the latter one ever happen?)). the last three are the problem. i will sleep on it and try to figure it out, but if you know the Right Way then point me at it if you would. I will start working on it again probably late tomorrow afternoon. > -- > Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Thomas "resc" Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> web: http://finbar.dyndns.org/ gpg key id 1024D/ACABA81E, fingerprint: 3A47 CFA5 0E5D CF4A 5B22 12D3 FF1B 84FE ACAB A81E
