debconf (1.5.11etch2) stable; urgency=low

  * Backport changes to make debconf-apt-progress compatible with the Lenny
    debian-installer:
    - Add --no-progress option intended to be used by apt-install in d-i.
    - Notice if the child exited abnormally, and exit nonzero.
    - Add --dlwaypoint option (without the cancel changes).
    - Fix tasksel hangs when $debconf_command_eof never became true
      because of buggy daemons. STATUS_READ should be the last fd to close, so
      checking $status_eof is sufficient. (LP: #141601)
    - Fix use of 'next' rather than 'return' in debconf-apt-progress
      handle_status.

  * debconf-apt-progress: Die if debconf-apt-progress/media-change can't be
    displayed.
  * debconf-apt-progress: Avoid falling through to generic progress updating
    code from media-change handling.
  * When asking for a Choices-C field in a template, fall back to Choices
    (etc.); if i18n is disabled then asking for Choices tries Choices-C
    first. This lets you say "Choices: ${CHOICES-TRANS}" and "Choices-C:
    ${CHOICES}" to substitute reliably into translated and untranslated
    templates without having to ensure that ${CHOICES-TRANS} is translated
    to the same thing in every language.
  * Make sure that languages whose codes are prefixes of other language
    codes don't accidentally match those languages. This is mostly
    significant for C, but could also be a problem once translations for
    languages with three-letter codes start being widely deployed.

  * Remove trailing whitespace from some .P requests in man pages, to make
    po4a happier.
  * Strip only trailing newlines from replies in the Python confmodule,
    rather than all leading and trailing whitespace.
  * Retry readline() in the Python confmodule if it's interrupted by a
    signal.
  * Typo fixes in Debconf::Encoding documentation.
  * Add cloexec keyword argument to Python DebconfCommunicator class,
    defaulting to False; if True, the file descriptors connected to
    debconf-communicate will be marked close-on-exec.
  * Avoid needlessly marking cache db items dirty on addowner if the entry
    already had that owner.
  * Add a --no-reload option to dpkg-reconfigure, to allow you to prevent it
    from reloading templates before running confmodules. This may be useful
    for performance if you know that the templates database is already
    correct.
  * Handle escaped commas ("\,") and escaped spaces ("\ ") in Choices and
    Value fields in questions, matching cdebconf. I've grepped the archive
    for backslashes in Choices fields in templates and in db_set and
    db_subst commands and found nothing that this change would break, while
    it lets us use more code from d-i in the installed system.

  [ Joey Hess ]

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Define UTF-8 as the encoding for all passthrough communication (it was
    previously undefined, causing installer breakage when using non-UTF-8
    locales). Now the passthrough frontend recodes everything to UTF-8 when
    talking to the UI agent, and we recode DATA parameters from UTF-8 to the
    user's charmap. Closes: #355251
  * Note that if you try to exchange non-ASCII text with debconf at the
    moment using anything but the DATA command, you lose unless you know
    that the other end is using the same character encoding as you.
    Retrofitting encoding sanity is hard.
  * Accept -- as an end-of-options terminator in frontend, even though it
    doesn't currently take any arguments. Simplifies a corner case in
    cdebconf compatibility.
  * Notice and error out on write errors (such as ENOSPC) when saving
    databases. Should help with a lot of database corruption bugs.

debconf (1.4.72) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Expand substitution variables when replying to localised METAGET
    requests for description, extended_description, or choices.
  * Add support for an 'escape' capability. If a confmodule sets this using
    CAPB, then commands it sends to debconf will be processed for backslash
    escapes (\n is a newline, \ followed by any other character is just that
    character) and debconf's replies will be backslash-escaped similarly.
    This allows such things as embedding newlines in substitutions and
    fetching extended descriptions using METAGET; the use of a capability is
    required because otherwise this would break compatibility with old
    confmodules. Closes: #126753
  * debconf.py: Avoid leaking a file descriptor from DebconfCommunicate.
  * Fix truncation of multi-line return values to handle values over two
    lines long correctly.
  * Add a debconf-escape program and make the confmodules unescape text
    automatically in escape mode. At present we don't escape text
    automatically, but you can use 'debconf-escape -e' yourself if you want
    an easy way to do that.
  * Remove *.pyc and *.pyo on clean.

  * Translations:

    think that having a *library* exit(3) is a good idea if there's not a
    usable display. Sheesh. (On the plus side, the same monkeys have taught
    users to not care if it takes a 9 ghz machine to run a simple dialog, so

debconf (1.4.61) unstable; urgency=low

  * The default debconf priority changes from medium to high in this release.
    This is consistent with the default pririty used already for fresh
    installs by d-i, and with the definitions of debconf priorities -- high
    priority questions have no reasonable default answer so should be
    displayed, while medium priority questions do have a default and can be
    skipped easily.

    Please do not use this change as an excuse to inflate priorities of
    questions!

  * debconf-get-selections: Include a comment with available choices for
    select and multiselect questions.
  * Don't compress demo templates file. Closes: #336477

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Add progress indicator to dpkg-preconfigure if we're running in apt mode
    and there are more than 30 packages (arbitrarily selected) to
    preconfigure. We'll make more calls to apt-extracttemplates as a result,
    but the progress indicator only ticks once every 30 packages so it
    shouldn't be too bad.

  * Look at the output of 'lsb_release -is' (falling back to 'debian' if
    /etc/debian_version is present) to figure out which logo to display in
    the Gnome frontend.
  * Install python confmodule for both python2.3 and python2.4 (since

  [ Luk Claes ]
  * Debconf translations:
    - Arabic added (thanks Mohammed Adnène Trojette). Closes: #320762

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Force dialog progress bars to the full available screen width right from
    the start, to avoid the box flashing as longer info messages are added.
    Matches cdebconf.
  * Fix zero-arg case of passthrough's title method to return the title
    rather than emptying it.
  * The approach used by progress bars of saving the title when a progress
    bar starts and restoring it when it stops doesn't work if somebody sets
    the title when a progress bar is up. Instead, remember the last title
    that was explicitly requested and restore that on progress stop.
  * If DEBCONF_SYSTEMRC is set to a file that exists, use it in preference
    to the system debconf.conf files. Closes: #299216
  * Never send STOP through the passthrough interface. One of the uses for
    passthrough is putting a progress bar in front of base-config's package
    installation, and that previously sent a STOP after every package, which
    shut down the debconf instance running the progress bar. Frontends shut
    themselves down anyway when their input goes away, so the STOP was
    unnecessary.
  * Allow setting the pipe driver's outfd to 'none' to throw the database
    away on shutdown. Helps with #312072.

  * confmodule: avoid using non-XSI local variables; instead use a nasty
    temporary IFS setting hack and _db_local_ namespace. Closes: #242011

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix error message on uninitialised template database.
  * Add DEBCONF_DB_REPLACE environment variable with the same syntax as
    DEBCONF_DB_OVERRIDE and DEBCONF_DB_FALLBACK, which bypasses all the
    normal databases (thus avoiding locking them). Useful for local testing
    or for running two concurrent debconf instances.
  * Start a new, bigger dialog instance when updating a progress bar with
    info text that won't fit into the current instance.
  * Start/restart dialog progress bars at the correct percentage.
  * Fix showdialog return values.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue,  2 Aug 2005 15:04:55 +0100

debconf (1.4.54) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make dialog progress bars interruptible: if a question needs to be asked
    while a progress bar is up, we tear down the progress bar and restore it
    afterwards where we left off. The gnome frontend is still broken in this
    situation, although at least kde and readline work fine.

    for the same template.
  * debconf-get-selections: Tolerate both old and new d-i logfile paths.

    communicating with another instance of debconf running the passthrough
    frontend.

debconf (1.4.52) unstable; urgency=low

  * Colin Watson:
    - Lower-case the field name passed to METAGET, since the template
      database stores fields that way.
    - If a template name ending in -C is requested (e.g. via METAGET),
      return the untranslated template regardless of the locale.
    - Strip off DOS line endings in debconf-set-selections.
    - Autoflush stdout in debconf-communicate so that stdout can be a pipe.
    - Clean up stray newlines in DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer debconf-communicate
      output.
    - Add read and write keyword arguments to debconf.py:Debconf.__init__(),
      to allow using this module with a debconf-communicate subprocess
      rather than having to re-exec the current process inside a frontend.

  * Colin Watson
    - Generate po/debconf.pot in sorted order by source filename, rather
      than having it be in whatever order find(1) happens to produce.
    - Implement INFO command from cdebconf, to display an out-of-band
      informative message. Closes: #304332
    - Revert stdin/stdout inversion from debconf 1.1.30; that caused the
      dialog child process to read from stdout and write to stdin (which
      miraculously happened to work, at least for terminals). Instead, avoid
      the perl warning from #155682 by restoring stdin first after the open3
      call.
    - Add progress bar support, using the cdebconf PROGRESS protocol. The
      editor and web frontend implementations are stubs.
    - Correct location of standalone template files in debconf-devel(7)
      (should be /usr/share/debconf/templates/progname.templates).
    - Extend passthrough protocol slightly to send SUBST commands for any
      substitution variables that are set for each question.
    - Translate select/multiselect defaults to the current locale when
      sending them to a passthrough UI agent, and translate the value
      returned by the UI agent back to C.

      a default value but still leaves the question unseen.

debconf (1.4.27) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change the shell confmodule to not construct functions on the fly.

  * Removed the never completed PREVIOUS_MODULE stuff from the shell,
    perl, and python confmodules.
