package i maintain (hping2) now uses debconf to ask a question. in order to make it do this, i had to use debian/config and debian/templates files.
everything works very well, but lintian complains about unknown control files referring to debian/config and debian/templates. i obtain these complains both on potato and woody, both of them are completely up to date to today archives. moreover, hping2 source packages generate only a binary package, so for sure i have no messes with control file names. i don't see anything wrong, i follow completely the debconf tutorial written by joey hess. at least i think. btw, now that i think at it, you know debian/config file? yeah, it has the first command line parameter that is "configure" or "reconfigure". the second is the version of the package and it is present only if debian/config happens to be executed by dpkg-reconfigure. is it right to think that if $1=="configure" => $2="" and if $1=="reconfigure" => $2="some_package_version"? in which case i should care about $1 and/or $2? at the moment i completely ignore them, since debconf asks only whether hping2 should be installed as suid or not. -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok ]-- ----[ ICQ: 56447243 --[ get my public gpg key at http://www.freeweb.org/free/cavok/ -[ unix is user friendly. it's just selective about who its friends are... -----[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50 ]--
