Public bug reported:
Hi, All!
Thanks for great application suite!
I've checked man for update-manager and didn't found there a switch or a
environment variable that could order update-manager to perform some
default action with the configuration files of the packages it updates
during dist-upgrade. Specifically, I want to just keep old configs and
get some summary of possible changes after upgrade done.
That was possible in FreeBSD and it is really strange that similar
behavior absent in Ubuntu. I've run like three distro upgrades by now
and it always annoys me to babysit the overall process. One can't just
"run the upgrade and go for a walk for few hours", because every time
you return you'll see like "do you want to keep configuration files for
PHP or overwrite it with new settings" (always just the same so far, by
the way). Dang, click "Keep", go for another walk and after a while
another question arises.
Distribution upgrade MUST be unattented as much as possible!
Thanks!
