It adds a new 'none' frontend so that debconf-set and debconf-get can be replaced by commands like echo get foo/bar |\ DEBIAN_FRONTEND=none debconf-communicate |\ sed -e 's/^[0-9]* //' If this works, a more user-friendly approach is to have debconf-set and debconf-get be symlinks to debconf-communicate, and add few lines to behave in a different manner according to executable name.

Bug#223344: debconf-set and debconf-get clear the screen
Of course debconf-get and debconf-set are not part of cdebconf, they are in rootskel. Looking at their current implementation, and after spending some time last night fixing debconf-get to at least be usable, though, it's clear to me that their problems can only really be solved by writing them to ude the cdebconf library directly, probably as part of cdebconf. So I guess this bug is a wishlist in that direction. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#223344: debconf-set and debconf-get clear the screen
Package: cdebconf Severity: normal For some reason cdebconf starts its frontend when the debconf-set and debconf-get commands are run. Enough to clear the screen anyway. Of course debconf-get also outputs its result to stderr. This could be better. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux dragon 2.4.22 #1 Sun Oct 12 15:11:10 EDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
