Change logs for debconf source package in Jaunty

  • debconf (1.5.26ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * debconf-apt-progress: DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND is always set here at some
        point, even if only on the second run after starting debconf, so we need
        to invert our handling of the check for whether we started the debconf
        frontend ourselves (LP: #347648).

  • debconf (1.5.26ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * debconf-apt-progress: If we didn't start the debconf frontend ourselves,
        then it's unlikely that the passthrough child will be able to start
        debconf normally, so tell it to use a pipe database in that case and
        rely on passthrough to save answers (LP: #337306).

  • debconf (1.5.26ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
        - Gnome.pm: Do not show "Cancel" or "Close" buttons during release
          upgrades.  Debian Bug: #501767.
        - Build for python2.6.
        - Convert debconf.py for python3.0 and install.
    
    debconf (1.5.26) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Use 'key not in dict' rather than 'not dict.has_key(key)' in debconf.py;
        dict.has_key is deprecated in Python 2.6.
      * debconf-apt-progress: Don't send STOP if we didn't start the debconf
        frontend ourselves; in that case the application calling us should
        arrange to stop itself.
      * debconf.py: Use subprocess rather than popen2 if it's available. popen2
        is deprecated in Python 2.6.
    
    debconf (1.5.25) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Joey Hess ]
      * debconf-devel(7): Fix state machine example to handle case where user
        backs out of first question.
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Support overriding frontend's package name determination (used to set
        the owner) using the DEBCONF_PACKAGE environment variable. Useful for
        applications driving debconf other than by way of package installation.
      * Refer to po-debconf(7) rather than its README (thanks, James R. Van
        Zandt). Closes: #505392
      * Refer to debconf-show(1) from dpkg-reconfigure(8) for those who just
        want to see the current configuration. Closes: #506070
      * Only use -C fields when explicitly disabling internationalisation within
        debconf (or when DEBCONF_C_VALUES=true), not merely when in the C
        locale. Based on a patch by Frans Pop, for which thanks! Closes: #476873
      * Force fallback to the default template if we encounter 'en' in the
        locale list and no language-specific template for English was
        found,since English text is usually found in a plain field rather than
        something like Choices-en.UTF-8. This allows you to override other
        locale variables for a different language with LANGUAGE=en. Thanks again
        to Frans Pop. Closes: #496631
    
      [ Manpages translations ]
      * Completed german man page translation.
    
      [ Debconf translations ]
      * Corrections in german translation with apologies for
        forgetting this bug report. Closes: #462302

  • debconf (1.5.24ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * Backport from trunk:
        - Only use -C fields when explicitly disabling internationalisation
          within debconf (or when DEBCONF_C_VALUES=true), not merely when in the
          C locale. Based on a patch by Frans Pop, for which thanks! Closes:
          #476873
        - Force fallback to the default template if we encounter 'en' in the
          locale list and no language-specific template for English was
          found,since English text is usually found in a plain field rather than
          something like Choices-en.UTF-8. This allows you to override other
          locale variables for a different language with LANGUAGE=en. Thanks
          again to Frans Pop.

  • debconf (1.5.24ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
        - Gnome.pm: Do not show "Cancel" or "Close" buttons during release
          upgrades.  Debian Bug: #501767.
        - Backport from trunk:
          + Fall back to untranslated fields if asking explicitly for any
            nonexistent translated field, not just Choices-C. For example, asking
            for Choices-en.UTF-8 should fall back to Choices if Choices-en.UTF-8
            doesn't exist. LP: #271652
          + Remove some dead code in Debconf::Template::AUTOLOAD.
    
    debconf (1.5.24) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Joey Hess ]
      * debconf(7): Clarify reason for libterm-readline-gnu-perl being recommended
        for users of readline frontend. Closes: #497357
    
      [ Manpages translations ]
      * Updated german man page translation. Closes: #492370
      * German proofread by  Helge Kreutzmann. Copyright fixed to include
        Florian Rehnisch
      * Corrected French manpages translation wrt "interactive".
        Closes: #496555
    
      [ Debconf translations ]
      * Hindi updated.
      * Greek updated. Closes: #498580
    
      [ Programs translations ]
      * Hindi updated.
      * Greek updated. Closes: #498577
    
      [ Joey Hess ]
      * debconf.7: Remove whitespace in manrefs. Closes: #498446
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Fall back to untranslated fields if asking explicitly for any
        nonexistent translated field, not just Choices-C. For example, asking
        for Choices-en.UTF-8 should fall back to Choices if Choices-en.UTF-8
        doesn't exist. LP: #271652
      * Remove some dead code in Debconf::Template::AUTOLOAD.
      * Add an AUTHOR section to debconf-escape(1) to make the German po4a
        translations work better.
      * Add missing =back to debconf-apt-progress(1)'s OPTIONS section.
      * Use =head1 in German POD addendum, not =HEAD1. Together with switching
        output to UTF-8 (below), this fixes various problems with German manual
        page output. Closes: #492368
      * Recode all manual pages to UTF-8 and re-enable Russian manual page
        generation, now that pod2man has a --utf8 option. Requires perl (>=
        5.10.0-16) as bug #500210 broke the Russian pages. Closes: #485756

  • debconf (1.5.23ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low
    
      * Gnome.pm:
        - On release upgrades, do not show the "Cancel" button and hide
          the close button in the main window. "Cancel" (or close)
          during a install will make the maintainer script fail so its
          not desirable.
