WIP: Debconf
Hey, folks.
I would like to introduce the debconf question for the crashkernel value.
One of the reasons to do it is to allow better upgrade paths for the default value.
This, however, is not possible with this current implementation, as I understand it.
As we want to allow users to manually edit their configuration files and use the values they put in there, we would probably need to save in the debconf database the previous default value, and check for that. At least, that is how I would implement it. Does that make sense?
The other thing that we could do is have this maze of different package versions that we will compare against, and that's exactly what I am trying to avoid here by using the debconf database.
So, instead of looking at what version, we look at the database. But as we also need to look at the configured files, we lose that information.
Well, in any case, I think what we have here is already an improvement.
Let me know your thoughts. Cascardo.
