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 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
