Hi, one thing I would like to see is some kind of "warning" when a package that can be upgraded using dselect if the upgrade means the software needs to be majorly reconfigured after the upgrade.
An example would be if for instance program-x could be upgraded and /etc/program-x.conf would have to be replaced with a new one with new syntax. I would like to know this *before* I did the upgrade since this could mean a lot of work. I know I cold go check doc's and changelogs before doing the upgrade, but one of the wonders of Debian is that you safely can upgrade most software without having to this. The only shortcoming of dselect is just the situation I have described here. I do not know how this could be done, but I would avoid some problems I have had in the past because packages have been upgraded and syntax or placement of configurations files has changes drastically. I am *not* talking about dselect upgrades actually being broken or bad, only that they may take more time than it initially looked like they would. Maybe I even have overlooked an option where I would be able to see this in advance? Am I being too demanding? It is just an idea! :) ----------------------------------- Regards, Christian Dysthe Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~cdysthe ICQ 3945810 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux ----------------------------------- "Clones are people two"
