Description
Hello,
It would be great to also update debconf question prefixes when you release a new minor version. For instance, when installing the mariadb-server-5.5 package on Debian we have the following question set
root@wheezy:~# debconf-show mariadb-server-5.5
|
mysql-server/root_password_again: (password omitted)
|
mysql-server/root_password: (password omitted)
|
mariadb-server-5.5/really_downgrade: false
|
mysql-server/error_setting_password:
|
mysql-server-5.1/nis_warning:
|
mysql-server-5.1/start_on_boot: true
|
mysql-server-5.1/postrm_remove_databases: false
|
mysql-server/password_mismatch:
|
mysql-server/no_upgrade_when_using_ndb:
|
As you can see here, question prefix stick to 5.1 while we would expect 5.5. Fixing this is important in regard of some scripts which prefill debconf database according package versions they intend to install.
Also, I think that you should use package onwer name for question prefix too (as it is done for Percona packages).
For instance
mysql-server/root_password
|
should be
mariadb-server/root_password
|
All here is about consistency.
Thanks you for your understanding.
