Hello, First of all, I present my excuses for having started a new debate about debconf in debian-devel. Secondly, to reply to every person who thinks I should have created a more "user friendly" migration who did not break backwards compatibility. My answer is that I have no time to implement command line support for stunnel 4.x.
Finally, since there is not really a policy about when to use debconf, I will respect the DFSG [1] and add a debconf warning [2] in the stunnel package. Thanks for all your comments. Best Regards. [1] "4. Our Priorities are Our Users and Free Software " [2] Description: general notes about stunnel * stunnel 4.x does not support any more command line arguments, so you need to edit /etc/stunnel.conf by hand if you are upgrading from stunnel 3.x * For stunnel versions >= 4.04-4, the file /etc/default/stunnel is provided and you need to set ENABLED=1 to allow stunnel to be started from init.d * To set up stunnel for server use, read the /usr/share/doc/stunnel/README.Debian file. -- Julien LEMOINE / SpeedBlue
