set $whatever
while [ $# - gt 10 ]; do shift 10; done
eval echo \$$#
fails when $# turns out to be 10 (or any multiple), it would need
to be instead
while [ $# -ge 10 ]; do shift 9; done
but there hasn't been a shell that cannot handle ${10} (etc) correctly
in a very long time, so let's just use that instead (properly quoted,
in case IFS happens to contain a digit for some bizarre reason).
We should also "set -f" / "set +f" (or better, restore the prev setting of -f)
around the "set $whatever" part, but if that was ever going to cause a problem
here, it would have already, so leave that for now.
When doing a UDP NFS mount, ask if "small transfers" (i.e.,
-r 1024 -w 1024) should be used; this is necessary when
the client and/or server has a feeble network card.
THESETS then set local_sets_dir to it so that install_from_mounted_fs()
gets called straight away.
install_from_mounted_fs(): if the passed dirname contains THESETS
don't bother/confuse the user by asking him where they are.
install.sub:
- fix interface grovelling, ifmedia support, allow ifmedia and link
to have a "none" (-> "") answer (which lets you give nothing when
a default answer is given)
- allow installing more than one set at a time, including "all" as
a synonym for all remaining sets
- mount -o async when extracting sets
makeconf.awk:
- put default "libs" section at the end rather than the start, so
you can put other "libs" in before this list
- minor cleanup
mtree.conf:
- create /kern
sparc install.md:
- MDSETS are now "kern xbase xcomp xcontrib xfont xserver"
- use /kern & kernfs (replaces dmesg)
- replace grep & cut pipe lines with sed
- replace grep hackery with sed hackery
- grep and cut are no longer required! yay!
- deal with no /usr/bin/vi -- call disklabel -i
- in md_copy_kern() link the netbsd.GENERIC we got from the kern set,
rather than the miniroot kernel
sparc miniroot list:
- no more dmesg, cut or grep
sparc ramdisk changes:
Makefile:
- `ramdiskbin.conf' is now generated by makeconf.awk
- don't use libhack's opendir, it breaks
dot.profile:
- don't assume terminal is `sun'
- set EDITOR=ed
-
list:
- instbin -> ramdiskbin to make `makeconf.awk' work
- CRUNCHSPECIAL those special dirs
- add our LIBS as necessary
libhack changes:
- if NOLIBHACKOPENDIR is set, don't build opendir.o
commandlines for all tar operations. (work supplied by Matt Green)
2) Update arch/*/md.c to deal with new sysinst/run.c. Special case
anything that needs to do a redirect or a pipe.
3) #if 0 some unused code in target.c. This code will need to be updated,
or special cased with do_system.
Big thank you to Matt for all his work on this.
- it now tries to find out if there are files that look like install
sets in the remote directory.
- it is possible to change to another directory when there are no
things like install-sets around.
- you can even get a directory listing while trying to find the
correct directory (wow ;-)
- when the correct directory is found, you can tag the sets you want to
extract (like in all(?) other cases). The only difference is that the
get-install sequence is batched.
There is still plenty of room for improvement, but it's getting workable.
- added method BOOTINSTALL, for an architecture to optionally install a
bootblock in the miniroot (this works for Amiga)
- added Amiga keymap directories
- removed the subdir selection from mount_local_disk() and mount_nfs(), and
the remains from mount_cdrom(), as all are handled now by the subdir
navigator in mount_from_installed_fs()
- add a subdirectory navigator for moving around in mounted CD-ROMs and
disk or network partitions.
Still a bit rough: should have explicit ".." support.
VERSION file.
* Set the EDITOR variable in install.sub, so it will be set in both
upgrade & install.
* Make the checks on the presence of installation sets on the local
disks on upgrade more precise.
* Remove more&less from the list of standard binaries (I need more space!)
* When building an fstab from the users' fstab, drop lines starting with
a '#' and lines with an fstype that is not supported on the miniroot.
Make editor configurable (variable EDITOR, also usable by disklabel(8)).
Move disklabel(8) calls into `md_prep_label()'.
Eliminate two uses of `sed'.
Eliminate `awk' in upgrade.sh.
