Re: Adding cdebconf plugins to d-i svn?

If you use branches you will notice that moved directories in one branch are not (well) supported during a merge. But you can still merge each moved directory (and file!) separately. There are always problems with subversion (but they are usually fixed very fast). Nevertheless the problem I mentioned is as far as I know not considered a bug since svn doesn't distinguish between move and del + copy. I suggest to avoid not necessary renamings when branches are used (or check current svn development before you do so).

My thought was that it might clutter the packages/ directory once there will be more plugins - and so perhaps it made sense to organise it similar to packages/partman and put each plugin into a subdirectory named after the package. I think some plugins for gtk widgets may emerge from g-i work and for example Tollef might want to move his keystep plugin to d-i svn at some point. Then again this is svn, not inflexible old CVS, so it can all be moved any time :-) cheers, Max -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Adding cdebconf plugins to d-i svn?
Hi all, I wrote a cdebconf plugin (only newt for now) to help reading random data from /dev/random while showing a progressbar and allowing the user to type randomly at the keyboard to feed the kernel entropy pool (and so speed up reading from /dev/random). It's used in partman-crypto for generating encryption keys. What do people think: Would it make sense to commit this plugin to d-i svn? It might serve as example (although not shining :-) of how cdebconf newt plugins can be built out-of-tree. If so, where should it go? I think packages/cdebconf-plugins could be a good place if more plugins are expected in the future.
