* perlcritic fixes:
- Move "use strict" above all code.
- Avoid declaring variables in conditional statements.
- Don't use bareword file/directory handles.
- Make all loop iterators lexical.
- Don't modify $_ in list functions.
- Use bare return rather than "return undef".
- Avoid two-argument open.
- Use a temporary variable rather than "return sort ...".
- Use ":encoding(UTF-8)" in Debconf::FrontEnd::Passthrough rather than
":utf8", since the latter does not validate the input data.
- Avoid string eval in a couple of places.
- Enable warnings lexically rather than using "perl -w".
- Use the block form of grep and map.
- Avoid combining low- and high-precedence boolean operators.
- Avoid comma-separated statements.
- Avoid indirect object call syntax for "new".
* Reformat debconf.py using pyupgrade, black, and isort.

debconf (1.5.40) unstable; urgency=low
[ Joey Hess ] * Updated Russian man page translation. Closes: #625935 * Updated Galician translation of program po file. Closes: #626475 * Add back documenation for the kde frontend. [ Martin Pitt ] * Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm: Port from Gnome2::Druid to Gtk2::Assistant. Original patch by Jani Monoses, thanks! (Closes: #542175, LP: #415038) * Debconf/Element/Gnome/Select.pm: Drop unused Gnome2 import. * debian/control: Change libgnome2-perl suggestion to libgtk2-perl accordingly. [ Colin Watson ] * Fix Gnome frontend to honour backup capability again, and make backup page handling work properly. * Version libgtk2-perl Suggests to match the upstream version where Gtk2::Assistant was introduced. * Convert from deprecated Gtk2::Combo to Gtk2::ComboBox. * Make sure you can't press Forward on a progress bar in the Gnome frontend. * debconf.py: Drop popen2 compatibility code. subprocess has been available since Python 2.4, which is old enough that it was dropped from squeeze. * Build for all currently supported Python 2 versions (closes: #584844, #626706). * Convert to dh_python2 (closes: #603965, #616786). * Add Python 3 support. * Perl gets a bit confused by Debconf::Config and Debconf::Priority using each other, and objects to bareword use of priority_list in Debconf::Config if you do 'use strict; use Debconf::Priority' before Debconf::Config is loaded. Work around this. Thanks to James Hunt for pointing this out. -- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Wed, 22 Jun 2011 22:50:23 +0100

debconf (1.5.39) unstable; urgency=low
[ Joey Hess ] * Moved to a git repository. Updated control file fields. * Removed debconf-english dummy package, and dropped debconf-i18n to a Recommends. Debootstrap will still install debconf-i18n as it is priority Required. * debconf-set-selections: Fix comment handling to match description. In particular, continued lines that start with a "#" are not comments. And, comments only occur at the start of a line (possibly with some whitespace before). Closes: #589519 * Updated Danish translation of program po file. Closes: #624645 [ Steve Langasek ] * Mark debconf Multi-Arch: foreign to indicate that it satisfies the dependencies of packages from other than the native arch.

Also unfuzzy all translations as far as possible. * Update German translation where unfuzzing was not enough (actually a no-op as Florian already translated appropriately). -- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Mon, 29 Nov 2010 18:11:22 +0000

debconf (1.5.28) unstable; urgency=low
[ Colin Watson ]
* Put debconf-i18n in Section: localization, to match overrides.
* Remove unused subcommand parameter from
Debconf::FrontEnd::Passthrough::progress_data().
* Override Lintian warning about debconf's postrm not calling db_purge;
debconf itself is a special case here.
* Declare "Media change" string as needing translation. (apt gives us
translated messages for substitution into the extended description here,
but not for the short description.)
* Remove unused 'use I18N::Langinfo' from Debconf::Element::Gnome
(LP: #387112).
* Upgrade to debhelper v7. In the process, convert to python-central with
DH_PYCENTRAL=nomove (since we need our modules to be usable even when
debconf is unconfigured; at the moment, the effect of this use of
python-central is only to add a Python-Versions control field).
[ Christian Perrier ]
* Add translation of "-a" in "man dpkg-reconfigure".
Patch by Simon Paillard.
* Suggest reporting bugs related to French translations in the French
l10n mailing list. Patch by Simon Paillard.
* French debconf translation update
[ Joey Hess ]
* document --terse in relevant man pages and show --no-reload in
dpkg-reconfigure usage. Closes: #548994
* German man page addendum fixed. Closes: #546789
* Dropped the KDE frontend. libqt-perl is uninstallable, and
work on the new qt4 perl bindings and a new KDE frontend based on
them is not ready. If the KDE frontend is specified, debconf will
now attempt to fall back to the Gnome frontend, or failing that,
to dialog. Closes: #522580

debconf (1.5.27) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix Plural-Forms header in Tagalog translation.
* debconf-apt-progress: If we didn't start the debconf frontend ourselves,
then it's unlikely that the passthrough child will be able to start
debconf normally, so tell it to use a pipe database in that case and
rely on passthrough to save answers (LP: #337306).
* debconf-apt-progress: DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND is always set here at some
point, even if only on the second run after starting debconf, so we need
to invert our handling of the check for whether we started the debconf
frontend ourselves (LP: #347648).
* Minor GET optimisation: fetch the question value only once rather than
twice.
* debconf-apt-progress: If we get cancelled very early on before managing
to start the process we're controlling, make sure that we don't carry on
and start it anyway, and that we still return 30.
* debconf-apt-progress: Handle cancellation right at the end. We don't
have a process to kill at this point, but we should at least return the
correct exit code.

* debconf-apt-progress: Don't send STOP if we didn't start the debconf
frontend ourselves; in that case the application calling us should
arrange to stop itself.
* debconf.py: Use subprocess rather than popen2 if it's available. popen2
is deprecated in Python 2.6.

* debconf-devel(7): Fix state machine example to handle case where user
backs out of first question.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Support overriding frontend's package name determination (used to set
the owner) using the DEBCONF_PACKAGE environment variable. Useful for
applications driving debconf other than by way of package installation.
* Refer to po-debconf(7) rather than its README (thanks, James R. Van
Zandt). Closes: #505392
* Refer to debconf-show(1) from dpkg-reconfigure(8) for those who just
want to see the current configuration. Closes: #506070
* Only use -C fields when explicitly disabling internationalisation within
debconf (or when DEBCONF_C_VALUES=true), not merely when in the C
locale. Based on a patch by Frans Pop, for which thanks! Closes: #476873
* Force fallback to the default template if we encounter 'en' in the
locale list and no language-specific template for English was
found,since English text is usually found in a plain field rather than
something like Choices-en.UTF-8. This allows you to override other
locale variables for a different language with LANGUAGE=en. Thanks again
to Frans Pop. Closes: #496631

* Fall back to untranslated fields if asking explicitly for any
nonexistent translated field, not just Choices-C. For example, asking
for Choices-en.UTF-8 should fall back to Choices if Choices-en.UTF-8
doesn't exist. LP: #271652
* Remove some dead code in Debconf::Template::AUTOLOAD.
* Add an AUTHOR section to debconf-escape(1) to make the German po4a
translations work better.
* Add missing =back to debconf-apt-progress(1)'s OPTIONS section.
* Use =head1 in German POD addendum, not =HEAD1. Together with switching
output to UTF-8 (below), this fixes various problems with German manual
page output. Closes: #492368
* Recode all manual pages to UTF-8 and re-enable Russian manual page
generation, now that pod2man has a --utf8 option. Requires perl (>=
5.10.0-16) as bug #500210 broke the Russian pages. Closes: #485756
