Package: wicd
Version: 1.7.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Hello
Wicd’s use of ConfigParser means that the config file won’t be sorted. This
means that
if the config is kept in a VCS (e.g. thanks to etckeeper) there will be local
modifications
nearly each time but no actual change, thus cluttering the history.
I suggest either using python-iniparse instead of ConfigParser, or using a
custom function
to write the config file, something like this (stole it from ConfigParser and
added sorted):
for section in sorted(parser.sections()):
print >> file, '[%s]' % section
for name, value in sorted(parser.items(section)):
if key != '__name__':
print >> file, '%s = %s' % (name, str(value).replace('\n', '\n\t'))
Please note that this code is untested.
Cheers
Merwok
