<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<B>debconf-copydb</B> copies items from an existing debconf database into
|
|
another, possibly new database. The two databases may have different
|
|
formats; if so a conversion will automatically be done.

<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><I>sourcedb</I><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name of the source database. Typically it will be defined
|
|
in your debconf.conf (or .debconfrc) file.
|
|
<DT id="2"><I>destdb</I><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name of the destination database. It may be defined in
|
|
debconf.conf or .debconfrc, or you might define it on the command line (see
|
|
below).
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>-p</B> <I>pattern</I>, <B>--pattern</B> <I>pattern</I><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this is specified, only items in <I>sourcedb</I> whose names match the pattern
|
|
will be copied.
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>--owner-pattern</B> <I>pattern</I><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this is specified, only items in <I>sourcedb</I> whose owners match the pattern
|
|
will be copied.
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>-c</B> <I>foo:bar</I>, <B>--config</B> <I>Foo:bar</I><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set option Foo to bar. This is similar to writing:
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
Foo: bar
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
In debconf.conf, except you probably want to leave off the space on the
|
|
command line (or quote it: ``Foo: bar''). Generally must be used multiple
|
|
times, to build up a full configuration stanza. While blank lines are used
|
|
to separate stanzas in debconf.conf, this program will assume that
|
|
``Name:dbname'' denotes the beginning of a new stanza.

debconf-copydb configdb backup
|
|
|

</PRE>
|
|
|
|
|

<P>
|
|
|
|
Copy all of configdb to backup, assuming you already have the backup
|
|
database defined in debconf.conf.

debconf-copydb configdb newdb --pattern='^slrn/' \

--config=Name:newdb --config=Driver:File \

--config=Filename:newdb.dat
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Copy slrn's data out of configdb, and into newdb. newdb is not defined in
|
|
the rc file, so the --config switches set up the database on the fly.
|
|
<P>

debconf-copydb configdb stdout -c Name:stdout -c Driver:Pipe \

|

<P>

Spit out all the items in the debconf database related to package foo.

This uses the special purpose pipe driver to copy a database to a remote
|
|
system.
