[pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-api 0/4] add notification about unmodified template-overrides

[Stoiko Ivanov]

This patch series adds functionality to notify users and our support about
templates copied to /etc/pmg/templates, without any changes.

While I thought initially that this could lead to actual issues (as the
unmodified templates from an old version mask the changes we provide in
the package) - this is luckily handled gracefully by ucf (which simply
overwrites the unmodified version in /etc/pmg/templates, by the new one in
/var/lib/pmg/templates.)

The merit of the series is (at least) that it should now be easier to see
actually relevant changes in the templates in our support-channels
(through the updated report).

if applied - it would make sense to also apply this to stable-7

[pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-api 1/4] utils: add helper for unmodified templates

[Stoiko Ivanov]

find_unmodified_templates yields a list of overridden templates in
/etc/pmg/templates, which have no change to the one they replace from
/var/lib/pmg/templates.

In practice this should only be a cosmetic problem, since the ones
in /etc/pmg/templates would get updated to the new version in
/var/lib/pmg/templates, by ucf if they have no changes.
(There would be a dialog asking what to do if there was a change, as
with sshd_config). However it can cause confusion also when providing
support, and experience shows that there are quite a few installs,
which have all templates copied (only to make a small modification to
one).

[pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-api 2/4] pmg7to8: notify about unmodified templates

[Stoiko Ivanov]

I considered making this a warning, but since unmodified files get
updated to the new versions in /var/lib/pmg/templates by ucf a notice
seems more appropriate.

[pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-api 3/4] report: skip irrelevant files in /etc/pmg/templates

[Stoiko Ivanov]

This patch removes:
* templates which have no changes to the ones in
  /var/lib/pmg/templates
* files generated by ucf

from the report. Unmodified files are reported, so that the user can
remove them.

This should make providing support a bit easier - as currenlty I'd
copy each template from the report to `diff` it with the version in
the package, for finding out if there is something relevant.

the new dump_template sub was copied from dir_to_text, in order to
explicitly write which files are skipped.

are we planning in reusing this for other things? as otherwise it might be
better to have it in pmg7to8 directly.

style issue: extra leading whitespace in if-test expression.

also, we often use an early "return" like `next if !-e "...";` to avoid an indentation for the
rest of the block for such must-have conditions for the whole block.
