I've made the error retry loops go back as far as the input menus.
Split all the pathname inputs into 2 pieces (base directory and set directory).
Reduced the size of some fixed strings.
Stopped the install aborting if ftp can't find a set (eg the X ones).
The French and Polish transations don't differenciate between Base_dir and
Set_dir - but that can be fixed later.
- Rename run_prog() to run_program() and remove the 'errmsg' argument (almost
never used).
- Be consistent about #define<space> in defs.h
- Allow BSDFFS partitions to be FFSv1 or FFSv2 (fixes PR install/23547)
- i386: install correct bootblocks for root filesystem type.
- Do 'fsck -p' before all mounts (but never a full fsck), rename fsck_xxx()
to mount_xxx() and remove some wrapper functions.
- Allow root to be an APPLEUFS partition - and allow them to be newfsed,
should fix PR install/23198
- Redo fstab processing for upgrade to avoid large static data items and
memory leaks. Change walk() to abort on user defined error.
(the fstab stuff really needs more work though...)
- i386: 'Warp' cursor to alternate option when selecting console/bootblocks,
should fix PR port-i386/23546.
- Allow MENU_ok and MENU_yesno to take user defined title.
- Ensure that mountpoint not defined for swap (and similar issues) when
editing netbsd label.
- Tweaks to error handling in run_program(), allow user to say that errors
are expected or that the display shouldn't be cleared before returning.
- Remove some old code that has been festering under #if 0
- 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)).
add support for setting mount options of async, noatime, nodevmtine and softdep.
add noauto if 'mount' was not requested.
add entry for /proc (with noauto)
Display fragment size and block size on the correct line.
Ask for numeric fragment size (not # fragments/block).
Show one unused partition when editing disklabel.
Zap all fields when a partition is made FS_UNSED.
Tweak some menu texts (a space at the end of a line causes a line break!).
Simplify code that displays output from commands - curses is requied to not DTRT
with CR/LF sequences, I need to revert libcurses :-(
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'.
Make disk_desc[], disk and numdisks local to get_disks (instead of globals).
Fix a little fallout from the above.
A bit of mbr.c was missing #ifdef BOOTSEL...
This should stop the i386 code splatting all over the start of the disk
during upgrade.
Upgrade will still use partition 'a' (unless you loop through the install
far enough first!)
Make same function return useful defaults if it can't find an answer.
Make all ports default to the useful defaults if bios geometry is unknown.
Move some messages to mbr set from mi set.
Fix i386 code that selects which bios disk, simplify interface to menus.
Remove now unnecessary global data from many ports.
4 times system memory). (These numbers need moving to a different menu still.)
Remove size of /usr from default sized / when /usr created.
Shrink swap in order to get partitions into available disk space.
Add twice ram size to / if space available (for system dumps).
Keep all but last partition cylinder aligned when the disk isn't a whole
number of cylinders.
I've also made the set selection happen first. This lets me test it!
also measn the selected sets could be used in the disk partition code.
Removed the 'with X' disk layout question (now too late to change the sets).
left consistently.
Make the i386 install let you partition a disk beyond the CHS limit if the
system bios doesn't support LBA reads (the checks aren't ideal yet).
Make the bsddislabel.c code usable onan i386 system - but don't use it yet.
on a set, instead of hardcoding the number of parts in sysinst (which gets
out of sync easily). The fdlast field of the distinfo struct has been
removed.
This solution is a bit simplistic but... anybody using the floppy
installation method will have to split sets himself (as we don't provide
them), so he will know which is the last one. Also, he will be able to
use whatever chunk size he wants.
Closes PR install/5050. Ok'ed by fvdl.
network has not been configured (due to what ever local condition that
causes ping to fail, or whatever.) requested by kre in private email
many many months ago.
and some sparc64 fixes. details:
- new scripting_{,v}fprintf() that also write to the script log (if open).
- support of creation of LFS filesystems
- standard installs now allow one to choose which file systems to create,
out of the list of /usr, /var, /home, MFS /tmp, and swap. a / is always
created, but the rest all optional. [*]
- new disklabel method: use existing. this requires one to fill in the
mount points (and having at least a "/" is enforced).
- preservation of existing filesystems (at install) is supported.
- rewrote most of make_fstab(): the entire thing is generated from the
bsdlabel now, rather than hard coding / to 'a' and swap to 'b'. create
MFS /tmp if requested.
- if IPv6 support isn't present, don't display any ipv6 messages.
- better rc.conf support
- sparc & sparc64 default to "cylinders" now.
- choosing "standard" instead of "standard with X" de-selects the X pkgs
by default.
- sparc64: don't install bootblocks until we have a complete system, avoids
booting with no /dev/console.
- sparc64: bump STDNEEDMB, it is way low.
[*] i have added default values for DEFVARSIZE & DEFUSRSIZE (this is used
only if /usr and /home are selected) to each port, based on STDNEEDMB. as
such, my guesses might be wrong so port maintainers should look at these.
