Configuration data upgrade during package upgrade

For a casual user, editing configuration files in /etc in an intimidating task. Manually managing configuration upgrade is even worse as it requires good knowledge to merge current configuration data with new data coming from new packages.

Config::Model was designed to make user's life easier by providing a configuration GUI and handle configuration upgrades transparently.

This presentation will explain how to provide these capabilities and will cover:

  • the main notions or Config::Model (config tree and model)
  • how to create a model
  • how package and configuration upgrade is performed
  • how to specify upgrade feature in the configuration model * explain how Config::Model can be used from other languages through the fuse interface.
  • Show a demo.

Important: This presentation does not require Perl knowledge
