Severity: important
Hi!
I am upgrading gpm to 1.19.6-19 on sarge currently and can just say:
AAARGH!
Why the heck am I asked about which mouse type, which device and so
on?! I *already have*! an /etc/gpm.conf, thank you! Why not parsing
that in the config debconf script _before_ asking these questions and
taking a look at them?
There is no need for these questions here, pretty please add a check if
there is already a gpm.conf and *DON'T* ask these questions again, my
gpm is already configured!
Personally I'd even say this is a serious abuse of debconf.... Even, I
think it doesn't mention that it will overwrite my already-available
gpm.conf without further asking, which makes it even a policy problem...
Pretty please, get some clue.
Alfie [args]
P.S.: Sorry for the rant -- but *aaaarrrrgghhhh*

Changes:

.
[ Peter Samuelson ]
* Added German debconf translation. (Closes: #278989)
Thanks to Jens Nachtigall <nachtigall@web.de>.
* Use weak symbols to link libgpm without curses without losing
functionality. While we're at it, get rid of the build-dep as well.
(Closes: #274673)
* Write a gpm.conf(5) manpage. (Closes: #288606)
* gpm.config: mark debconf questions as 'seen' if gpm.conf already
exists. (Closes: #289049)
* debian/scripts/{lib,source.unpack}: tweak to make them work in the
presence of .svn directories. Obviously not for releases, but very
useful for test builds.
* debian/gpm.init: hack for kernel 2.6 asynchronous module loading.
A hotplug script would be the right solution, but that's a major
headache, not least because we can't rely on hotplug being functional.
(Closes: #298197)
* debian/rules: add a 'checkpo' target. Thanks Alexis Sukrieh.
* debian/gpm.config, debian/gpm.templates: remove the "remember the
restart setting?" question. I honestly don't know what we were
thinking. "Of course remember the setting, otherwise I can run
dpkg-reconfigure on it!" (See #289165 - but this doesn't close it.)
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fixed warnings and escaped an hyphen on gpm.conf(5) manpage.
* Enabled header on gpmconfig(8).
* Added gpm-types(7). (Closes: #284160)
* Added Catalan debconf translation.
* Added missing ending quotes in the embedded dbs.
* Added devfs support to gpm_has_mouse_control. (Closes: #139630)
* debian/copyright:
- Added the Subversion repo URL used for the package.
- Remove Joshua Kwan from the Team list as he left some time ago.
* Use debconf-updatepo in debian/rules (checkpo) instead of msgmerge
and fix output format.
