CDIST-TYPE__DEBCONF_SET_SELECTIONS(7)

NAME

cdist-type__debconf_set_selections - Setup debconf selections

DESCRIPTION

On Debian and alike systems debconf-set-selections(1) can be used to setup configuration parameters.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

cf. --line.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

file
    Use the given filename as input for debconf-set-selections(1) If filename is -, read from stdin.

    This parameter is deprecated, because it doesn't work with state detection.

line
    A line in debconf-set-selections(1) compatible format. This parameter can be used multiple times to set multiple options.

    (This parameter is actually required, but marked optional because the deprecated --file is still accepted.)

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

None.

EXAMPLES

# Setup gitolite's gituser
__debconf_set_selections nslcd --line 'gitolite gitolite/gituser string git'
# Setup configuration for nslcd from a file.
# NB: Multiple lines can be passed to --line, although this can be considered a hack.
__debconf_set_selections nslcd --line "$(cat "${__files:?}/preseed/nslcd.debconf")"
