This is the command debconf-copydb that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
debconf-copydb - copy a debconf database
SYNOPSIS
debconf-copydb sourcedb destdb [--pattern=pattern] [--owner-pattern=pattern] [--config=Foo:bar]
DESCRIPTION
debconf-copydb copies items from an existing debconf database into another, possibly new
database. The two databases may have different formats; if so a conversion will
automatically be done.
OPTIONS
sourcedb
The name of the source database. Typically it will be defined in your debconf.conf (or
.debconfrc) file.
destdb
The name of the destination database. It may be defined in debconf.conf or .debconfrc,
or you might define it on the command line (see below).
-p pattern, --pattern pattern
If this is specified, only items in sourcedb whose names match the pattern will be
copied.
--owner-pattern pattern
If this is specified, only items in sourcedb whose owners match the pattern will be
copied.
-c foo:bar, --config Foo:bar
Set option Foo to bar. This is similar to writing:
Foo: bar
In debconf.conf, except you probably want to leave off the space on the command line
(or quote it: "Foo: bar"). Generally must be used multiple times, to build up a full
configuration stanza. While blank lines are used to separate stanzas in debconf.conf,
this program will assume that "Name:dbname" denotes the beginning of a new stanza.
EXAMPLES
debconf-copydb configdb backup
Copy all of configdb to backup, assuming you already have the backup database defined in
debconf.conf.
debconf-copydb configdb newdb --pattern='^slrn/' \
--config=Name:newdb --config=Driver:File \
--config=Filename:newdb.dat
Copy slrn's data out of configdb, and into newdb. newdb is not defined in the rc file, so
the --config switches set up the database on the fly.
debconf-copydb configdb stdout -c Name:stdout -c Driver:Pipe \
-c InFd:none --pattern='^foo/'
Spit out all the items in the debconf database related to package foo.
debconf-copydb configdb pipe --config=Name:pipe \
--config=Driver:Pipe --config=InFd:none | \
ssh remotehost debconf-copydb pipe configdb \
--config=Name:pipe --config=Driver:Pipe
This uses the special purpose pipe driver to copy a database to a remote system.
