Bug#497772: ucf: request for interactive merging tool

2008-09-04 Thread Dmitry Karasik
Package: ucf
Version: 3.007

Hello,

I believe that interactive config merge feature is needed in ucf, that it is
not a creeping featurism but rather a useful logic branch that, in my opinion,
would be used most. The idea comes from FreeBSD's mergemaster, which allows to
invoke 'sdiff -o' as one of four available options (install,keep, show
diff,merge), and which feature I miss on debian greatly.

I think that majority of config changes are one-two lines here and there, and
the interactive sdiff is an ideal tool for merging new config lines while
keeping your own lines in such situations.

mergemaster proposes and additional menu what to do with the
merged file, after user is done with sdiff - install,redo,review,
(but lack stepping back to upper level menu). See func merge_loop
in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.sh?rev=1.56;content-type=text%2Fplain

Hope that makes sense.

Sincerely,

Dmitry Karasik
