Package: aolserver4 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
There are different problems with your debconf templates. A full patch is attached, here are my comments: >-Template: aolserver4/introduction >-Type: note >-_Description: Welcome to the AOLserver 4. >- AOLserver is a multithreaded, Tcl-enabled, high-performance webserver. >- . >- This software is designed to run multiple domains on a single machine. >- We will set up just one (main) right now. You can modify the configuration >- file in /etc/aolserver4 and its init script yourself for more complicated >- configurations. Please remove this template, this is typical debconf abuse. It annoys the user by pausing the installation process with a template that has no added value for the configuration of the package. This information belong partly to the package description, partly to the normal documentation of the package. > Template: aolserver4/hostname > Type: string > Default: localhost >-_Description: Enter an hostname: >+_Description: Hostname of the server: Do not use any imperative form, as the user is clever enough to know that he/she has to enter something. >@@ -22,10 +12,10 @@ > Template: aolserver4/address > Type: string > Default: 127.0.0.1 >-_Description: Enter an IP address number: >+_Description: IP address to listen to: See above. > The server needs at least an IP address to listen to. > It is generally the primary Ethernet interface (or the loopback address, >- if you would to use the server just locally). >+ if you would like to use the server just locally).
