Package: ucf
Version: 3.004
Severity: wishlist
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Manoj,
One of the specs that came out of the Ubuntu Developer Summit in November
was to improve update-grub's handling of menu.lst updates, so that it
would stop silently overwriting local changes. Of the available solutions,
it was deemed that ucf was most suitable:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubConflictDetection
However, since the content to be managed by ucf is only a subset of the
menu.lst file, the existing ucf debconf template isn't really suitable
because it talks about "files" but the file being managed will be a temp
file.
Our proposed solution is for ucf to support specifying an
(application-supplied) alternate debconf template as a command-line
argument, to use in place of ucf/changeprompt or ucf/changeprompt_threeway.
Since the template to use is already variable, such a patch should be fairly
non-intrusive. Would you be amenable to receiving such a patch to ucf? The
patch itself is trivial and I'm happy to prepare it, but thought I would
check with you first whether you have any particular requirements for such a
patch.
Cheers,

Description:
ucf - Update Configuration File: preserve user changes to config files.
Closes: 424926 456241 456245 460868 464238
Changes:
ucf (3.005) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Bug fix: "ucfq /path/to/file is broken", thanks to Niko Tyni. Applied
the patch provided in the report. Closes: #460868
* Of course, this did not mean that the modified column was actually
filled with valid values: A number of places we were not using the
proper accessor methods, which added to the confusion. Fixed.
Closes: #464238
* Add a new --debconf-template option to specify an alternate
caller-provided debconf template for the user prompt. Heavy lifting
done by Steve Langasek. This was apparently done to allow grub in
Ubuntu to manage partial file fragments. Closes: #456241.
* Use db_x_loadtemplatefile instead of debconf-loadtemplates for template
loading, and depend on debconf (>= 1.5.19) | cdebconf for the
implementation. Thanks to Steve Langasek. Closes: #424926
* Drop the Recommends: debconf-utils now that it's no longer used.
* Instead of proceeding merrily on our way if the three way merge fails,
we now leave the dest file unchanged, leave the mess in the new file
(foo.ucf-new), tell the user about it, and abort the upgrade by
exiting with exit 3. We still psit out an error about conflicts.
Hopefully, this adequately resolves the bug. Closes: #456245
