  From Ubuntu 15.10 daily builds, the window-like tool "dialog" in Linux now 
turns to look for double backslashes (like \\n, \\Z...) as control codes in 
command option file, which causes incorrect display in format for programs 
(like PMLinux) that get used to only feeding with single backslash (\n, \Z...). 
This bug affects menu, form, and form etc. dialog boxes.

  There is no such problem for other disros, even ubuntu 15.05 ...

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1549300] Re: dialog wrongly requires double backslashes (\\n, \\Z) for control codes in option file

2016-06-20 Thread Guo, Liang Chang

Checking the latest note in the changelog, this bug might have been fixed 
recently:
http://invisible-island.net/dialog/CHANGES.html#t20121230
2016/04/24
+ fix a special case in drawing shadow on a line-drawing cell where the
  alternate-character set flag was lost (report by Martin Kravec).
+ fix a regression from 2015/05/13 changes for escaping; it is
  necessary to retain backslashes within quotes to make "\Z" escapes
  work (report by Marcin Krol).

WAIT & SEE a future release of dialog (1.4 by guessing).

The bad package dialog-1.2-16.20150528.fc23.ppc64 had arrived in Fedora 23, and 
soon will go into Red Hat, CentOS ... everywhere. It is ruining the 
configuration UI of our PMLinux application, and must be fixed as soon as 
possible.

  From Ubuntu 15.10 daily builds, the window-like tool "dialog" in Linux now 
turns to look for double backslashes (like \\n, \\Z...) as control codes in 
command option file, which causes incorrect display in format for programs 
(like PMLinux) that get used to only feeding with single backslash (\n, \Z...). 
This bug affects menu, form, and form etc. dialog boxes.

  There is no such problem for other disros, even ubuntu 15.05 ...

2016-03-24 Thread Guo, Liang Chang

Whiptail is too simple. It even has no form input box, so there's no way
for it to be an alternative for dialog that is popular with non-Ubuntu
Linux systems. It's weird that the Ubuntu team pays more attention to
whiptail than to dialog.

2016-03-24 Thread Steve Langasek

This package is in the Ubuntu archive, available for installation on
Ubuntu server installs, etc.  However, it is only in the Ubuntu main
archive as a dependency of the desktop product; it is not a component
that we support as part of the server product.

What you have described is certainly a real bug, bug it is a bug we
would decline to commit resources to fix for 16.04.

A functionally similar supported component is the 'whiptail' package.
It does not have identical commandline syntax to dialog, however, so you
may not find it a suitable replacement.

What are you talking about? There is no point that dialog is not
supported on Ubuntu ppc64el server!

In fact, dialog package is available by default in apt archive repository: 
http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports, in the same main URL as dash's:
http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/d/dialog/dialog_1.2-20150920-1ubuntu1_ppc64el.deb
http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/d/dash/dash_0.5.8-2.1ubuntu2_ppc64el.deb

for quick installation for all Ubuntu releases up to 16.04 (Xenial
Xerus) so far, as demonstrated below:

Title:
  dialog wrongly requires double backslashes (\\n, \\Z) for control
  codes in option file

Status in dialog package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  == Comment: #0 - Liang Chang Guo  - 2015-09-11 18:44:18 ==
  From Ubuntu 15.10 daily builds, the window-like tool "dialog" in Linux now 
turns to look for double backslashes (like \\n, \\Z...) as control codes in 
command option file, which causes incorrect display in format for programs 
(like PMLinux) that get used to only feeding with single backslash (\n, \Z...). 
This bug affects menu, form, and form etc. dialog boxes.

  There is no such problem for other disros, even ubuntu 15.05 ...
