Package: debconf
Version: 1.4.42
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
I checked the interactive conflict resolver of SVK, and I think something
similar would
be very usefull when users tries to resolve the conflict between theirs
versions and
packages versions of config files.
For example:
Configuration file /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** nfs-kernel-server (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
It would be very nice if this list contains some other options:
-edit file
-merge
edit file option starts a $EDITOR and
merge starts a merger like SVK does it.
You can check svk: svk.elixus.org.
Merge editor in SVK checks for available merge tools, and if one of them found
then starts it.
I'm not sure but maybe it is possible to call directly from SVK this resolver
logic.
