cdist-type__debconf_set_selections7
Setup debconf selections
Overview
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
--fileis 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")"
