Actually I did. You should be aware that you have a high priority question (tftpd-hpa/directory) that I get asked every time I install the package then. :) Also, you don't validate a single value of those the user provides and this is as friendly as letting users use $editor to configure the package (maybe worse). For cpufreq, validating values or providing valid values for users to select from is a lot of guess work. My opinion is that trying to do that would cause more problems than it solves and again that's why, as I initially said, implementing a configuration interface for it would not be worth. It would also not be as trivial as you make it sound. ... > >For now I won't fix this bug, in the future I may consider adding low > >priority debconf questions to autogenerate the config file and keep > >those questions away from users not interested in it. > > that's excately what i was telling you all the time. you couldn't > just say 'yes, i'll do so', couldn't you? -- mattia :wq! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
