Hi Trying to do some janitors task, I read on the TODO " Nothing should send error messages to stderr. If there is an error, use debconf to display a message. stderr messages will overwrite the newt frontend. "
I found the following files use stderr: packages/autopartkit/dummylog.c packages/autopartkit/mapdevfs.c packages/base-installer/run-debootstrap.c packages/cdebconf/src/test/dbtest.c packages/cdebconf/src/rfc822.c packages/cdebconf/src/debconf.c packages/cdebconf/src/debug.c packages/cdebconf/src/debconf-communicate.c packages/cdebconf/src/modules/db/rfc822db/rfc822db.c packages/cdebconf/src/modules/db/perldb/perldb.c packages/cdebconf/src/modules/frontend/corba/corba.c packages/cdebconf/src/modules/frontend/corba/dcf-text.c packages/cdebconf/src/debconf-loadtemplate.c packages/cdebconf/src/confmodule.c packages/cdebconf/src/template.c packages/choose-mirror/choose-mirror.c packages/debian-installer-utils/pipe_progress.c packages/debian-installer-utils/mapdevfs.c packages/kbd-chooser/usb-kbd.c packages/libdebian-installer/src/log.c packages/libdebian-installer/src/exec.c packages/libdebian-installer/src/system/devfs.c packages/netcfg/netcfg-common.c packages/partconf/partconf.c packages/partconf/mkfstab.c packages/partman/partman/parted_server.c packages/udpkg/depends.c packages/udpkg/udpkg.c packages/udpkg/status.c I wonder what is the best way to replace something like fprintf(stderr, "my old error string message"); At the moment my idea is to add/replace: #include <cdebconf/debconfclient.h> // when it is necessary struct debconfclient *debconf = NULL; // when if it is necessary char estr[] = "my old error string message"; debconf_subst(debconf, DEBCONF_BASE "fallback-error", "ERROR", estr); How am I far from the best replacing solution?
