Package: ucf
Version: 2.001
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

it would be nice to have a side-by-side view of the differences between the 
Debian maintainer's conffile and the current version of that conffile on 
the host.

I imagine that you could insert a new menu item in ucf for this, so that 
sdiff could be called from within your program.

Granted, something similar is already possible by starting "a new shell to 
examine the situation" and running sdiff manually from there, but I think 
that it would be easier to edit the diff between those two files directly 
and then afterwards replace the current conffile with the merged version.

If you don't object to this feature, I would take a look at ucf's code and 
try to come up with a patch. In case you don't want to include such 
funtionality, feel free to close this bug. I won't prepare a patch then ;-)

Cheers,
