ucf.conf - site-wide configuration file for ucf
The file /etc/ucf.conf is a POSIX Shell snippet
sourced by ucf(1) and ucfr(1). It can contain any shell
directive (just ensure you know what you are doing).
All the variables have reasonable default values, but they be
overridden on a site-wide or per-run basis.
- a)
- Some variables can be set in the config file /etc/ucf.conf. These
values override the defaults.
- b)
- Some variables can also be set by setting a corresponding environment
variable. These values take precedence over the config file.
At the moment, the user modifiable variables supported are:
- DEBUG
- Debugging information: The default value is 0 (no debugging information is
printed). To enable debugging output, set the value to 1.
- VERBOSE
- Verbosity: The default value is 0 (quiet). To change the default behavior,
set the value to 1.
- conf_force_conffold
- Force the installed file to be retained. The default is to have this
variable unset, which makes the script ask in case of doubt. This can also
be overridden by the environment variable UCF_FORCE_CONFFOLD
- conf_force_conffnew
- Force the installed file to be overwritten. The default is to have this
variable unset, which makes the script ask in case of doubt. This can also
be overridden by the environment variable UCF_FORCE_CONFFNEW
- conf_source_dir
- This is the directory where the historical md5sums for a file are looked
for. Specifically, the historical md5sums are looked for in either the
file ${filename}.md5sum, or the subdirectory
${filename}.md5sum.d/
- conf_old_mdsum_file
- Force the historical md5sums to be read from this file, rather than
defaulting to living in the source directory. Setting this option
overrides settings in the environment variable
UCF_OLD_MDSUM_FILE
System-wide defaults are placed in /etc/ucf.conf,
There are no bugs. Any resemblance thereof is delirium.
Really.
