tags 631769 patch thanks Hello,
I pushed my changes to the debconf.git close on wagner [1], branch debconf-
kde. Could you review and merge changes?
0a4843c Add NEWS entry about Kde frontend.
a7a0282 Add new Kde frontend that is based on debconf-kde-helper.
0db0aaf Close file handles on Passthrough frontend shutdown.
aad24e6 Allow Passthrough child class to initialize file handles.
cd4e468 Add possiblity to timeout while waiting for the reply in Passthrough
frontend.
06fba12 Make it clear which commands are passed through in debug output.
59df459 Add Debian/{FrontEnd,Element}/Qt* to debian/copyright.
3ae06bf Rename current Kde frontend to Qt.
d0ebe97 Enable multimaintainer mode.
Notably, I renamed old Kde frontend to Qt (3ae06bf). Sune asked me to keep old
frontend for now as he might try to keep qt4-perl alive. However, I think
there is a consensus that debconf-kde-helper based one is the future so maybe
we will get rid of that old frontend regardless in the end. That's still to be
decided.
Regarding the last commit (0a4843c - NEWS entry), Kde frontend will stop
working for its users unless they install debconf-kde-helper. I don't see how
we can avoid this breakage via dependencies thus I added a NEWS entry.
Surprisingly, there was no NEWS file before so I don't know if you want to add
it. So feel free to ignore that commit.
P.S. debconf-kde-helper has just entered unstable but it's too old. I will
work with maintainer to get updated version to unstable ASAP and then I will
version debconf-kde-helper Suggests appropriately. I will let you know.
