Hello For the record, a 3-way configuration file merge is currently deployed with lcdproc package using dh_cme_upgrade (which uses Config::Model and cme). [1] and [4]
Implementation details are provided in [2] This approach can be applied to other packages even if cme is not a silver bullet: some work is required to use cme upgrade on configuration files. A lot of work was done for lcdproc to provide a complete configuration model that provide both upgrade and a configuration editor [3]. I believe that work can be reduced if only configuration upgrade is desired: such a model needs less details. Feel free to contact me for more details. All the best [1] https://ddumont.wordpress.com/2014/03/23/easier-lcdproc-package-upgrade-with-automatic-configuration-merge/ [2] https://wiki.debian.org/PackageConfigUpgrade [3] https://ddumont.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/generate-a-configuration-editor-from-a-config-template-file-with-perl-lcdproc-example/ [4] https://ddumont.wordpress.com/2014/07/06/status-and-next-step-on-lcdproc-automatic-configuration-upgrade-with-perl-and-configmodel/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
