Converting a config file into a conffile
Hi, I have a package with a config file that is created by postinst, and I would like to convert this file into a conffile that is handled by dpkg. Is there a way to achieve this in a way so that dpkg will silently replace the postinst-created default version with the new conffile? I expect that normally it will ask the user what to do if I just start shipping a conffile. TIA. Cheers, Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I anticipate that you copied the config file into place from /u/share/
(not /u/s/doc/) if it doesn't exist, and if dpkg lists some relevent
version.
In this case, you can remove it in preinst if its MD5sum matches the
value of the initially copied file. Don't touch it if it doesn't
match; this will cause the user to be prompted, as intended for a
conffile modified by both the admin and the maintainer.
You should then implement rollbacks in postrm to unremove the file
in case there's an error. Actually the preinst should just mv
foo{,.old} then the postrm abort-upgrade mv foo{.old,} and the
postinst configure rm -f foo.old.

I believe UCF will also handle this (but I've never used it).

Re: RFS: QtOctave -- A Qt front-end to Octave
* Jordi Gutierrez Hermoso [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-06-17 21:38]: (Note to octave-help list subscribers who may be interested: I attempted to stick to Debian policy after all, which is why I'm attempting to add this to Debian's repositories. The dotdeb works in Debian's current testing, and should be easily built for other distributions. Note that Qt4 is required to build and run the package.) Hello, Debian mentors. This is my first attempt to upload a Debian package and the first package I've ever built believing to be adhering to Debian policy.

RFS: mantis (updated package w/ security fix)
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.73-4 of my package libphp-phpmailer. My normal sponsor for this package seems unavailable presently and this upload is rather important in that it fixes a security hole. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=429179 regarding CVE-2007-3215. It builds this binary package: libphp-phpmailer - full featured email transfer class for PHP I believe I've prepared this appropriately. In debian/changelog I set urgency to 'high'. I know this will get it into unstable on an expedited basis, but am unsure how to get the fix into stable. I read: http://www.us.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-bug-security-building and my impression is that the next step is to contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please let me know if this is correct. I have successfully built the new package in both pbuilder stable and pbuilder unstable. It is lintian/linda clean in both cases.
