Package: wnpp
Severity: important
I intend to orphan debconf after sarge is released. I had hoped to have
the time to maintain it while we were transitioning over to cdebconf,
but the cdebconf transition is taking longer than I had hoped. Since I'd
prefer to devote what small amount of spare time and energy I have to
making that transition happen, rather than fixing some of the worse
architectural problems in debconf, it would be better if debconf had a
real maintainer.
Please carefully look over the bugs, make sure you can understand
debconf's rather strange OO perl implementation, and *talk to me* before
taking over maintenance of this package.
I'd also be willing to consider co-mantenance, especially if I didn't
have to do most of the work. :-)
I nobody steps up to do this, at best I'll continue to maintain the
package in the basic maintenence mode it's been in for a while, and it's
unlikely that the following debconf bugs will ever get fixed: 50595,
101800, 142944, 164396, 169868, 179865, 189026, 192889, 193694, 198297,
199722, 201703, 218182, 223039, 224400, 232296, 244972, 247134, 251417,
260189, 265286, 201431, 214916, 243219, 46250, 58980, 59870, 67097,
86817, 98611, 126752, 126753, 134191, 167177, 202059, 205095, 224154,
249119, 257704, 258021, 265355. Of these, most are fairly unimportant
except to their submitters; the biggest debconf bugs are the still
mostly unexplained occasional debconf db corruption, and the screwy and
problimatic to daemons fd redirection stuff.

Changes:
debconf (1.5.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Define UTF-8 as the encoding for all passthrough communication (it was
previously undefined, causing installer breakage when using non-UTF-8
locales). Now the passthrough frontend recodes everything to UTF-8 when
talking to the UI agent, and we recode DATA parameters from UTF-8 to the
user's charmap. Closes: #355251
* Note that if you try to exchange non-ASCII text with debconf at the
moment using anything but the DATA command, you lose unless you know
that the other end is using the same character encoding as you.
Retrofitting encoding sanity is hard.
* Accept -- as an end-of-options terminator in frontend, even though it
doesn't currently take any arguments. Simplifies a corner case in
cdebconf compatibility.
* Notice and error out on write errors (such as ENOSPC) when saving
databases. Should help with a lot of database corruption bugs.
Closes: #198297, #247849 (we hope)
.
[ Christian Perrier ]
* Rename the Punjabi translation file name from pa_IN to pa
to fit a decision taken in -i18n

* Set maintainer to debconf-devel mailing list, this package is noticably
Colin^Wteam maintained now. Closes: #265570
