enter partitions offet and size. The user can chose unit independantly of
the unit used for display ('M'/'c'/'s'). These functions do the proper
bound checks and alignement/roudups. Used in the edfspart menu and
i386 md_make_bsd_partitions() (other ports should do the change as
well).
- now that getpartsize() does the rigth thing, kill the swapadj hack (which was
buggy anyway).
- in i386 md_make_bsd_partitions(), don't propose defaults that don't fit on
the disk. If the disk is too small, fallback to custom instead.
- fix a bug in mbr.c, where the partition flags would not have always been
reset. sysinst created me a MBR with 2 active partition. The boot code
doesn't like it :)
- added a message for eventual mount failures.
- killed donewfs and extracting messages, as we run the commands in a
subwindow these messages just flashed on the screen.
- Changes a few exit(1) to return(1), to give the user a second chance.
- added msg_clear() or wclear(stdscr) in a place or two, to make
display a bit nicer.
- in run_cmd(), if the command succeeded, don't wait for the user to
press enter.
- 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.
(like upgrade but without trying to save etc.
* Add option to setls0urce menu to look in an already-mounted (local)
directory. Change `local fs' option to say umounted local fs.
* Change extract_file() to check that a tarball actually exists
and give an explicit non-curses warning if it doesn't. (see above.)
* GNU tar returns a successful status if its gunzip child dies.
Add short sleep() after tar commands in case of undetected errors.
* Change set-source selection code (except FTP, floppy) to check
that the mandatory set files (base.tgz, etc.tgz) exist
in the selected directory. If they don't, warn the user and
prompt the user to change the selected directory.
Give the user the option to explicitly continue even if
base.tgz or etc.tgz not found, just in case.
* Change extract_file() to keep count of set unpacks that succeeded
or failed. (Unreliable, given the broken return status of gnu tar.)
Warn the user if there are errors and abort the installation/upgrade
if we find any. Does at least catch Ctrl-C interrupts of unpacking.
* Make unwind_mounts() signal-safe.
* Sense of target_verify_* is broken. Replace with predicates that
return 1 iff the file or directory exists.
* Fix upgrade tests for existing etc.old (see above) before saving
target /etc as /etc.old.
* Other detail fixes.
* Add `partinfo' type, for description of a single partition,
so we can pass labels by reference..
* Add label.c with label initialization, naive overlap-check code,
and a UI entrypoint edit_and_check_label() which iterates through
checking a label for overlaps, and if any, giving the user the choice of
fixing them or punting back to the main menu.
* Change return type of md_make_bsd_partitions from void to int.
Return 0 if the partition has problems (or the user gave up on it)
and 1 if the partition is completed and looks OK.
* Change install() to check return value of md_make_bsd_partitions().
If it returns zero, print an `abort' message and return to main menu.
* Add label.c to all ports' Makefile.
MD code tested on pmax and cut-and-pasted to other ports.
