bug #17366: Pre-checked previous configure options

Additional Notes: 

The pre-check feature for update will be implemented;
I still have to think through whether it makes sense in
the command line tool too to automatically enable the old options if no -C is specified.

I will try to do this as soon as I find the time, or someone steps up to help me.

Thanks for your report,
Claudio

At last, it is done.
During an upgrade with sourceinstall-gtk,
the previous options (and variables) are prechecked with
their original value, if any.

If you can, please try out the latest CVS builds,
and confirm that the feature works as intended.

Currently the command line utility does not do anything
different.

Sorry,
I had to postpone this.
The feature requires to dissect current CONFIGURED
package information element into each separate configure
options elements, and also requires changes to the parsing code.

It would be nice if when I upgrade a package, sourceinstall used the same configure options I used on the older package. For example, I use the following with sylpheed-claws:

CONFIGURED: ./configure --disable-ipv6 --disable-aspell --disable-ldap --disable-jpilot --disable-spamassassin-plugin --disable-clamav-plugin --disable-libetpan --disable-gnomeprint --prefix=/usr/local/

But when I tried to upgrade, sourceinstall-gtk asked again what options I'd like (I'd like the above options already saved in the respective sourceinstall package information file).

The upgrade process could "pre-check" the saved options. And a suggestion: regarding more, less or renamed options, sourceinstall-gtk could simply highlight (or show in red or some different color...) the new options (it doesn't matter if it was renamed... it can be interpreted as new). If some option doesn't exist anymore, sourceinstall-gtk could warn that it's removing the option or simply remove from the package file... just some ideas... To sum up:

1) if there are new options, it could be highlighted (renamed options would be showed as new options)

2) if some option was removed, then it would simply discard them, because it doesn't make sense to use non-existent option

But if you implement just the pre-check feature, it will help a lot ;-)

Thank you very much!
