ucf (3.0036) unstable; urgency=low
* Incorporate enhancement from Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org>
* Bug fix: "diff screen is ugly, unreadable and counterintuitive",
thanks to Robert Luberda (Closes: #817982).
* Updated the Standards version to 3.9.7. No changes needed.

ucf (3.0029) unstable; urgency=medium
* When asking how to handle an upodate to a locally modified
configuration file, ucf does not tell the user where the new version
of the configuration file lives. This makes it hard to take action
when opening a new shell. This commit updates the debconf templates to
include that information. (Closes: #616486, #747295, #747299)
(Closes: #747310, #747312, #747335, #747346, #747371, #747450)
(Closes: #747533, #748148, #748178, #748371).
* ucf uses getopt(1) to process command line arguments. The debug
options take a an optional level. For short options, If the option has
an optional argument, it must be written directly after the option
character if present. For long options, the optional argument must be
written directly after the long option name, separated by `=', if
present. This is now documented in the manual page.
* Document that ucf --purge can be used to make ucf forget about the
state of the previous decisions for a configuration file, so that when
the package is updated or reinstalled, ucf will ask again about
disposition, (Closes: #566277).

* [f70b2c6]: Handle errors in three way merges This fix is one that
was first implemented in Ubuntu, and has only been lightly modified.
The problem was the handling of merge failures in three way merges,
ucf used to just pass the error through to the maintainer script,
and so a merge failure resulted in a maintainer script failure,
which could cascade in a upgrade. However, trapping the error, and
showing it via debconf, and then returning to the ucf debconf menu
allows users to resolve this issue as they please. This patch
implements that.
Bug fix: "three-way-merge errors cause upgrade pains", thanks to Steve
Langasek (Closes: #543593).

really, but merely a reality. This patch sleeps for a couple of

* [6e5ba1b]: Save and restore command line arguments after parsing
This way, when the script is called again under debconf, the command
line arguments are still around, and have not been eliminated during
parsing. And no, getopt was not to blame, ucf was nuking the
commandline itself.
Bug fix: "ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf

Also, allow the three way merge options whenever there is a stashed

making three way capabilities the default, except for large
configuration files, where large is defined as 25 KB.

* [bd1dfcb]: Substitute the ucf/show_diff DIFF variable contents to
protect sensitive data. The previous fix said "reset diff question
after use so contents are not written to disk". Unfortunately this is
not enough (or even needed): the sensitive data is not stored in the
value of ucf/show_diff, but in the DIFF variable associated with it.
Bug fix: "ucf stores diff (of private files) in debconf (world readable)"
Closes: Bug#511893 Author: Niko Tyni <ntyni@debian.org>
* [f5cbbdf]: Show the differences on the first try
Until 3.0012, ucf/show_diff was reset just before showing it to the
user. This would unset the 'seen' flag properly. However, moving the
db_reset call after db_input made the latter skip the note on the
first time if the 'seen' flag was already set. To make things worse,
Debconf::ConfModule::finish() sets the 'seen' flag for all the
questions it has handled before exiting, so the flag was always true
after debconf exited. Simply unsetting the flag before db_input fixes
this.
Bug fix: "skips differences on the first try", thanks to Niko Tyni
(Closes: #514071).

cause the failure.

Debconf does not use world readable "temporary internal

Tightening the permissions on the debconf database would break
several things including use of debconf-show in reportbug.

* [9eb5118]: ucf uses debconf even if called without --debconf-ok and hangs
ucf, even if is called without --debconf-ok, uses debconf and
hangs if db_stop had been already called, since it tries to load
/usr/share/debconf/confmodule and loads the ucf debconf templates.

earlier. Thanks to Robert Luberda for the report and suggested fix.

* [debiandir:8949365] Fix VCS-Browser URL
* [debiandir:ede9c73] Do not depend on cdebconf as an alternative
ucf relies heavily on debconf to do its job, and thus depends on it. Way
back when, it was told to me that we arte going to move to cdebconf,
which at some point will be the preferred way. In the meantime, to
facilitate the future transition, we should all depend on
debconf | cdebconf
to make life in the future easier.
Now, as of version 3.005, ucf started using a feaure that has long been a
part of cdebconf, but was only ported to debconf in version 1.5.19, so
now ucf started depending on:
debconf (>= 1.5.19) | cdebconf
and this is where trouble beings.
Suppose a machine running stable has cdebconf installed. It also has an
old version of debconf installed, say, one that is older than
1.5.19. Since cdebconf was installed, the dependency requirements are
fully satisfied, so debconf was not updated.
Now, ucf follows the instructions in debconf-devel(7) -- and that just
uses debconf, the older version which does nothave support for the
feature ucf needs. Boom, there goes the update.
This is a grave bug.

proper accessor methods, which added to the confusion. Fixed.
Closes: #464238
* Add a new --debconf-template option to specify an alternate
caller-provided debconf template for the user prompt. Heavy lifting
done by Steve Langasek. This was apparently done to allow grub in
Ubuntu to manage partial file fragments. Closes: #456241.

loading, and depend on debconf (>= 1.5.19) | cdebconf for the

* Drop the Recommends: debconf-utils now that it's no longer used.
* Instead of proceeding merrily on our way if the three way merge fails,
we now leave the dest file unchanged, leave the mess in the new file
(foo.ucf-new), tell the user about it, and abort the upgrade by
exiting with exit 3. We still psit out an error about conflicts.
Hopefully, this adequately resolves the bug. Closes: #456245

* For "keep current" and "threeway merge", ucf expects answers from
debconf which differ from what is specified in the template
master. Frans Pop suggested using the Choices-C feature of debconf,
which is relatively new, but defines a fixed alias for each option
which Debconf will then use in db_get and db_set operations -- so no
more matching the template in the code. He also kindly provided a
working patch. Updated versioned dependency on debconf to reflect the
need for a new version. Closes: #443179, #449274, #453084

to Yuri Kozlov (Closes: #421141).
* Bug fix: "ucf: should use debconf to display the diff results", thanks
to Gustavo Noronha Silva. Users using a Graphical frontend are
surprised when the display apparently just blocks when they ask to see
a diff (or 3-way diff) of the configuration file being handled, when
actually the diff is displayed on the terminal window ucf was run
on. Until the debconf-escape utility and the escape CAPB support,
db_subst ran into newline and line length issues. Patch from Michael
Vogt. (Closes: #325576).
* From Michael Vogt's patch: use a debconf note for the diff. updated
dependency of debconf to 1.4.72 (this is the version that supports the
"escape" capability)
* Left in the debconf-2.0 as is, since I am assuming anything that
provides debconf-2.0 should be a drop in replacement, or that should
be considered a bug. This is a change from Michael Vogt's patch.

however, that this merits a NEWS file: the vast majority of users who
install ucf do so since it is pulled in as a dependency, and they
don't care a white about ucfr being added. The only people who might
care are people who use ucf to manage configuration files, and that is
a very small number. NEWS items should be relegated to important
information that may affect the majority of installations; and this
does not fit the bill.

Frank Küster. This is still the correct behaviour, as long as a
diff is show, which should be the case now. (Closes: #243953).
* Added an option to specify where the old md5sum can be found for
historical versions.

* Shut off withecho, since we should be fairly stable now. Bump version
number to reflect that.
* Bug fix: "ucf creates superfluous dpkg-dist files", thanks to Frank
Küster (Closes: #238730).
* Bug fix: "ucf: diff is not displayed with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=dialog and
more as sensible-pager", thanks to Frank Küster. This was nasty. Now
ucf thinks like sensible-pager, looking at $PAGER,
/etc/alternatives/pager, and, failing that, ensuring /bin/more exists
-- and then, if the pager is more, it pauses after displaying the
diff, so that the diff is not whisked away by debconf looping back to
ask for what's next. (Closes: #239319).
* Thanks to extensive patches from Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
<fabbione@fabbione.net>, ucf should now be able to handle file names
with spaces in them. Touch wood.

Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>
* Added debconf support to ucf. It will use debconf for prompting.
* Since some badly behaved maintainer scripts use debconf, then cripple it
(by calling STOP, redirecting stdio, etc), and then call ucf, ucf must
take care to not use debconf if called from such a script. In this case it
will fall back to prompting without using debconf, unless a --debconf-ok
parameter is given, to let ucf know that the maintainer script
promises it has not screwed up debconf.
* Update ucf.1
* Since the above hack means that ucf retains the ability to prompt
on its own, I made it not depend on debconf at all; if debconf is not
present then ucf will fall back to its internal prompter. closes: Bug#234151
Manoj:
* Changed the rules file to handle permissions better in face of strange
umasks. Many thanks to Joey Hess, who essentially did all the work for

* When ucf replaces a configuration file, it always leaves the old
version behind as "conffile.dpkg-old", and then installed the
"distributed" file as "conffile", just *like dpkg* does. Now, also made
it so that when ucf asks the user a question, and they respond by
opting not to replace the configuration file, ucf creates
"conffile.dpkg-dist", as dpkg would have created.

ucf (0.23) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix a corner case when ucf is reinstalled after being removed, but not
purged, for a while, in this case all the data is out of
date. Rotating the dataset would have ucf asking questions all over,
but that is better than silently ignoring files of packages that were
purged while ucf was removed, and are being reinstalled. Correct
behaviour trumps the user being asked questions again. closes: Bug#215077

* Urk. Major breakage in ucf on upgrade; one loses
/var/lib/ucf/hashfile, due to a major thinko. The downside is that the
currently installed file shall be trated as the old version, and a
wquestion shall be asked if the upstream file is different. This bad,
but there is no real data loss; only a potential question asked on the
next upgrade of packages using ucf.

* Add a --purge option to ucf, to remove all hints about a configuration
file from the hashfile. This fixes what happened if a package was
purged, and reinstalled -- on purge the configuration file was
removed, but it was still in ucf's database. On reinstall, since the
upstream file had not changed, ucf did not copy it to the destination
-- even though the destination file no longer existed. This is a major
bugfix. closes: Bug#159015

* ucf now has a rudimentary, experimental, and undocumented diff3
capability. So, optionally, people can see a diff3 diff between the
current file, the old file, and the new upstream version. Also, they

current file. This can be dangerous.
