- rework run_prog() so that the program name (etc) is usually displayed if
the program generates any output, or terminates with an error.
Allow arguments to included in single quotes.
Try to collect console output so it doesn't interfere with curses.
- Add a '*' to the cylinder count if non-integral number of cylinders
(on disklabel editor)
- Only show partition type for unused partitions.
- Show size including unused space on '+' partition, remove a..z since
the don't relate to partition IDs (netbsd partition sizes)
- Fix deleting of 'user' partitions - killed size of next ptn.
- Don't default a swap partition is the disk already has one.
- Fix deleting of extended MBR partitions - changed size of ptn 2.
- Show error message if user tries something illegal in mbr editor.
- Default to old diskname (actually disk type - dunno why!)
- Use MI enable_rc_conf() to set RC_CONFIGURED=YES, use a single sed
command instead of a raft of code playing with files etc.
- Float some menus to just below header text, saves counting and lets
language variants have different height headers (use y=-1)
- Track whether anything is mounted on /mnt2 better.
- Put more texts into message file.
- Change english prose texts to be more correct.
- Stop french and polish versions core dumping if ptn start/size changed.
- Fix processing logic for saving /etc (action is still borked)
- Do tail-end setup if any sets (eg X) can't be found (but not if you give
in (yet)).
to sysinst's main process when a command is run (eg the file list from pax).
Since the pty is in 'packet' mode, the boundaries of the pty reads would
need to be preserved in order to detect control records.
If the pipe became full the main process could treat part of a filename
as a control byte and then save the rest of the name as tty settings.
The effect of 'random' tty settings is unknown, but could be responsible
for core dumps while displaying the full file list from pax.
I suspect that the extra pipe was originally used because select wasn't
supported on the master side of a pty (not checked).
Also cd out of /targetroot if set installation is killed with ^C ^C.
Add menu for all disklabel partition types.
Default 'partition type' and 'sizechoice' menus to current value.
Change 'standard/use existing' to 'set sizes/use existing'.
Defaults to "ftp.netbsd.org"
- Replace make(1) and -D FTP_DIR with SYSINST_FTP_DIR.
Defaults to "pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-" + VER + "/" + MACH.
(FTP_DIR used to override "pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-", which meant the
path name had to contain the release version in it)
- Add make(1) and -D SYSINST_CDROM_DIR.
Defaults to "/" + mach.
- only append ftp_prefix to ftp_dir and cdrom_dir once, just after
the options are parsed. Do this in newly added set_defaults().
instruction.
Create md_hello message and move that message to it.
Port-maintainers: please reflect the reality of your port.
Someone who can write french: please correct *.fr catalogue.
seperate booleans. Add flags to run as a plain 'system()' command,
fullscreen (but on a pty), and chrooted, and implement their
functionality. Add a bit of TIOCPKT handling code to handle
programs messing with term settings better.
* Ask to set the root password at the end of an install.
* Remove a few unneeded comments.
* Sprinkle some touchwin() calls here and there to make the output cleaner.
They shouldn't really be needed, but even normal usage (no syslog
messages) even left the screen messy sometimes.
* Change some messages around that were apparently swapped by accident and
thus caused confusion.
forward them on to subprocesses. nice when running a subprocess in
a display window to allow the user to kill the subprocess w/o nuking
sysinst itself. add handling for QUIT, which gets handled the same
as intr. add handling for HUP which just cleans up. More signals
should be handled.
use stdscr's maxx and maxy to set up the message window rather than hard
coding 78 and 22, respectively. The latter, combined with large messages
and a relatively small screen (and perhaps badly-placed menus), would seem
to cause the SEGVs reported in PR#7806. (For certain window sizes, the
menu system would reject the menus as too small, but for others sysinst
would just crash.)
be called. it'd cleanup() then exit(). however, cleanup() is scheduled
to run at exit via atexit(). This means that it gets run twice, and
this causes confusion for things like endwin(). The end result is
that rather than actually exiting and printing the "sysinst terminated"
message, after one control-c it looks like it's still sitting at the
last screen you were viewing even though it's actually at a shell prompt.
squelch the cleanup() in the SIGINTR handler to avoid this problem.
* while here, nuke the annoying space before the "sysinst terminated."
message. it looks bad, and serves no purpose.
- Make all the functions called from do_install() return an error code,
so that we can abort install if something went wrong.
- Add a 'errstr' argument to run_prog(), which if not NULL is displayed
with msg_printf() and followed by process_menu(MENU_ok) if the command fail.
Used to warn the user that the current action is aborted.
- in a few places use msg_display() or msg_printf() rather than printf.
It seems that stdout/stderr are not always pointing to the active curses
window.
- garbage-collecd unused messages, add a few new one (error handling).
XXX only tested on i386. Other md parts should be tested as well.
* Use structures, not 2-dimensional arrays..
* Use the DIOCGDEFLABEL ioctl to get the disk information,
to avoid confusion with (older) labels.
* Don't ever call fdisk for partitioning. This was the
source of much confusion.
* For the i386, use the BIOS geometry information passed by
the bootblocks.
Lots of things left to do, but it's a start.
Scripting and logging functionality for sysinst.
Child programs are run in a "display window" so you can actually see what
they did before the screen flashes back and you loose it all.
Lots of curses fixups. Removed nasty endwins that mangled the tty upon
rentry.
Change the yes/no box to accept Y or N, and not require cursor motion to
decide one or the other.
Perform curses redraws when doing things that could cause the kernel to
spew printfs onto your screen.
* Add mount_with_unwind() that adds mountpoint to a LIFO queue
of mountpoints to undo on error. Use in target_mount().
* Add unwind_mounts() which traverses the LIFO queue and unmounts
filesystems, silently ignoring errors.
* create toplevel() function which displays banner message and
calls unwind_mounts().
* change toplevel menu to call toplevel() instead of inline banner.
Where to do unwinds needs more thought. Perhaps we should only unwind
if an upgrade or install appears unsuccessful, so after a successful
install, the target is mounted (e.g., for upgrading /etc/rc.conf).
all pathname-on-server related definitions to MI code, since they are now
defined to be consistent across all platforms. Also, nuke the "rels" global,
since release numbers are now always specified in "long form", i.e. 1.3A
vs. 13A.
- Added -r rel flag to change the release tag on the tar files.
- Added Usage
- Fixed a menu bug (missing exit)
- Made target_expand available to all functions to produce correct
file names.
parallel development. i386 version about 90% complete. pc532 version
just started, other architectures later in coordination with portmasters.
This is a curses based, menu driven installation program.
Better error checking is needed.
