We seem to have no formal documentation stating the various
char if*_name[IFNAMSIZ]; /* if name, e.g. "en0" */
elements in ioctls are nul terminated, but the peanut gallery claims
it is so - and at least half of the code in-tree touching them agrees.
to get rid of all disklabel assumptions.
Previously (even for GPT partitioning) struct disklabel was used, which
obviously breaks large disk setups. Also many MD parts and parts of the
user interface assumed (a) a struct disklabel is used internally to
store partitioning information and (b) partitions are named 'a' ... $MAXPART.
Get rid of this and replace it with a quite abstract interface that should
be able to deal with all variants in partition storage:
- partitions are stored in a (partly abstract) struct disk_partitions
and most parts of it are only accessed via accessor functions provided
by a "partitioning scheme".
- implement partitioning schemes for MBR, disklabel and GPT (with likely
RDB [amiga] and Apple Partition Map [mac*] to follow soon)
- partitioning schemes may be cascaded, e.g. on x86 when using MBR as
"outer partitions", we have disklabel as "inner partitions".
- all user interface goes via accessor functions in the partitioning scheme,
some of which return pointers to special user interface descriptors
(e.g. to allow editing partition flags, which are scheme specific)
Overall the user interface changes (in this initial step) are minimal but
noticable. A new Anita is needed for automatic test setups - many thanks
to Andreas Gustafsson for lots of early testing and a new Anita version,
and to Manuel Bouyer for cooperation and tests of the Anita release.

transfers. This is slightly inconsistent, as directories are still
shared - but this allows us to default to cdn/nycdn for http (which don't
support ftp).
get rid of the global "yesno", introduce utility functions "ask_yesno()"
and "ask_noyes()" instead, greatly simplifying a lot of code.
Pass in a pointer to the return value to various "set source" menus.
and not checking the result of localtime can lead to tears.
Add a safectime() that always returns a good string, and add some debugging
so that we can see if there is indeed something wrong in the new libc time
code.
dhcpcd will ensure the IPv6 network is up before forking.
ping the IPv4 default route before the nameserver as the nameserver
could be over the default route anyway.
Fixes the core issue with PR install/49231.
Extract configured information from resolv.conf and hostname instead
of scraping the last dhcpcd script run.
This will allow the use of DHCPv6 and IPv6RA DNS details in the future.
from Eugene Lozovoy: add extended partitioning options to sysinst.
Still needs some testing and polishing, but it now is possible to use GPT
or to create a RAID set from scratch and install onto it.
This commit only physically moves the sources - there are no other
changes, to maximize the probability that this will be treated as a
rename if we ever do manage to migrate away from CVS.
Moving sysinst has been discussed on and off for years and has two
goals: making it easier to work on sysinst, and also making sysinst
available on running systems for use installing chroots and VM images
and other such things. None of the latter is possible yet, but as they
say, one thing at a time.
Doing this now was approved in an impromptu fashion by mrg, riz,
riastradh, me, and groo.
