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!
