We use CFengine to maintain the configuration of our machines. It's great stuff. Now, one possibility for CFengine to manage the XF86Config would be to just copy or edit the file. But it occurred to me that it might be better to just maintain the answers asked by debconf. Do you think that might be feasible? Is it the right approach?
If so, I imagine the procedure is as follows: First, CFengine edits some file where debconf stores the answers to its questions. (Where is that file and what's the format?) Then CFengine runs dpkg-reconfigure or something like this to tell Debian to reconfigure the package based on the previously configured answers. I've been quite happy with the X11 configuration that came out after debconf was done asking me. Another thing is that I'd like to change the sequence of directories in FontPath, and maybe add my own. So is there a file where debconf gets the corresponding XF86Config-4 snippet from? Can I have CFengine just edit that file? kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
