Description Beth Nackashi 2005-12-19 23:34:55 UTC
Description of problem:
isatty and networkSetup and possibly other attributes are not saved correctly
when exiting up2date-nox --configure.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.4.56-3

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Run u2pdate-nox --configure
2.  Change networkSetup or isatty.
3.  <enter> to save
4.  Re-run up2date-nox --configure
  
Actual results:
the new setting was not saved

Expected results:
the new setting was saved

Additional info:
I did not test this for all attributes; there may be others affected.

isatty will get reset everytime the app ones, it's not really a user
configurable option.

networkSetup doesn't get saved intentionally, see bz # 169881

It just shows up in the nox configure stuff because nox configure is lame. I
say, not a blocker, this isn't new behaviour.

Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2006-01-18 17:57:52 UTC
I'm taking this one off the blocker list, it's lame but it doesn't really break
anything and is old behaviour
