The main sources of documentation on debconf for users are: - The debconf introduction, in the same directory as this file, explains what debconf is. - The debconf(8) man page, is a complete debconf user's guide. - The debconf.conf(5) man page is useful reading if you want to use a different debconf database setup. Developers should refer to: - The debconf tutorial, in the same directory as this file explains how debconf works, walks you through converting a package to debconf, and discusses some common problems and their solutions. - The debconf specification, which is in the debian-policy package, is a reference to all the available debconf commands. Though the source for this package can be found on any debian mirror, development work happens in CVS. You can get a snapshot of the current development release via CVS, but you'll have to read this page first: http://kitenet.net/programs/sshcvs/?debconf Or you can browse the CVS archives here: http://cvs.kitenet.net/joey-cvs/public/packages/debconf/ Debconf's home page is at http://kitenet.net/programs/debconf/
