libconfig-model-perl - 2.141-1 main

Config::Model is a Perl framework that enables project developers to provide
an interactive configuration system for their software. It supports various
frontend interfaces (graphical, curses-based or plain terminal) to users. It
handles configuration files semantically rather than syntactically, meaning
that developers can specify the structure and constraints of the data along
with a mechanism to read and write the files.
.
Using the structure and constraint information, Config::Model will generate
interactive configuration editors that include help and data validation. It
is equally simple to use graphical (via Tk) interfaces as well as curses-
and ReadLine-based terminal interfaces.
.
Config::Model also provides a facility to help configuration data upgrade
that can be triggered during package upgrades.
.
Config::Model provides configuration model and editor for:
- popularity-contest
- fstab (/etc/fstab)
- multistrap
.
Other configuration editors are available with other libconfig-model-*-perl
packages.
.
Depending on which suggested or recommended modules are installed,
Config::Model provides several user interfaces:
- shell-like interface (with any of lib-term-readlin-*-perl)
- virtual file system where each config parameter is mapped to a file
(with fuse package)
- graphical user interface (with libconfig-model-tkui-perl)
