→debconf shim for B2G / gaia apps
==== debconf shim for B2G / gaia apps ====
This section is best understood after examining an existing debconf frontend such as debconf-kde-helper in debian, or ubiquity-frontend-debconf in ubuntu. There is also an application in debian called "gkdebconf" which should also be examined. All of these applications communicate with debconf whilst applications are being installed and configured. The front-end deals with presentation of questions to the user, and relays their responses to the installation process.
The proposal is therefore very simply to write a debconf front-end which is also a gaia application. Below is a description of the process.
# a user goes to a store (GUI front-end TBD)
# this "store" triggers the command "sudo apt-get update" in the background (or this occurs on a regular basis)
