What is the best way to notify the user or administrator when a new version of a package changes the format of a configuration file in a backwards-incompatible way?
These options occurred to me: Try to upgrade the user's old configuration automatically. Document it in NEWS. Print a warning on stderr. Use a debconf note. Send an email to root or some other system user. I'd appreciate any advice. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
