The _hostname could work, on irc we came up with the idea of var?=value to do the same thing. Some sort of syntactic sugar of this sort seems unavoidable, unfortnatly (unless we want to parse /proc/cmsline by hand). -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

How about a prefix to mark individual variables as interactive ? E.g. "_hostname=xxx". -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.

Fixed in SVN.

Yes, that could well be. env2debconf parses the output of 'set' and AFAIK
that will list environment variables in alphabetical order, not the order
in which they were set.

Fixed.

Yes, I had not realised that this is parsing the output of set, so
there's no guaranteed order, and preseeding it on and then off won't
work. The best I can do is check for interactive/preseed first and have
it apply to everything on the command line if set. I may need to
reconsider and use a different syntax.

Bug#410392: interactive/preseed=true doesn't work as expected
Package: preseed
Severity: normal
Writing it down in a bug report so that it isn't forgotten.
16:00 < nyu> joeyh: your last change to interactive/preseed isn't working. I
believe it's due to the line in env2debconf that reads 'if [ "$SEEN" ]; then'
instead of 'if [ "$SEEN" = 1 ]; then'. I haven't tried, though,
but that line is clearly wrong ('[' makes no distinction between "0" and "1")
16:15 < nyu> no, that wasn't enough..
16:16 < nyu> I observed that the order of my parameters (locale=xx
interactive/preseed=true hostname=xx) is altered in /var/lib/preseed/log
16:16 < nyu> where the order is hostname, locale, then interactive/preseed
16:16 < nyu> could that be related?
