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.
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.
password, offer defaults. When displaying the current values, note
that a password has been set and is hidden, rather than displaying
the number of characters entered for the password. (Thanks to wrstuden
for the translation of "hidden"...)
- in run_prog(), do an explicit wclear(stdscr); wrefresh(stdscr);
before launching subwindows. This seems to solve all the display
problems associated with run_prog().
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.
same for floppies (from Christoph Badura)
* allow user to run 'Configure network' multiple times, to correct errors
for example.
* deal with network interfaces that need explicit media type selection
(i.e. ask for it when it is needed, also store it in the generated
/etc/ifconfig.blah file on the destination disk)
* 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).
