- base32 contains (when MKCOMPAT=yes) shared libraries for 32-bit
compatibility, previously included in base
- debug32 contains (when MKCOMPAT=yes) debug symbols and static libraries
containing debug symbols for 32-bit compatiblity, previously included
in debug
- manhtml contains (when MKHTML=yes) the HTML files previously included
in 'man', which are of limited utility without third-party software.
The motivation for this change is to be able to easily exclude sets
from CD-ROM images that go over the size limit without xz compression
(which many NetBSD platforms struggle to extract at acceptable speeds).
It has come to my attention that sysinst does not, in fact, run
postinstall(8) post-install -- only post-upgrade.
Perhaps we should change this so that postinstall serves the purpose
it says on the box -- make postinstall mandatory for new
installations.
XXX pullup-10
- push a bit harder for setup of a root password
- simplify/clarify manual entropy setup
- visit the entropy setup (on machines where it is needed) on the
default path through sysinst
install/upgrade path, we need to (re-)write the entropy seed file
afterwards - the earlier written one would not have an entropy estimate
if we get here.
that do not have full entropy), but move it to the config menu
instead of enforcing it as mandatory step.
This menu is shown at the end of the setup, or if explicitly invoked
from the main menu.
Some of the input options are complex but useful in some situations
and code to support them is tiny. Most users will use the manual input
(first + default option) but some might prefer to connect a USB TRNG
or have easy setups to transfer entropy from another machine (while
copy & paste on a serial console sometimes is tricky).
This set is only installed on amd64,i386,evbarm.
This set is installed on minimal installs and on install media, in
case someone needs it for basic driver functionality.
Comments:
Switched to a single MK tunable for it - that is probably unneeded.
An upcoming DRM update will include even fatter firmware, and we'd
like to minimize the impact of it.
Early during new installs or after upgrades we check if entropy is
available. If not (no hardware random number generator available)
we inform the user and ask them to fix it.
When no medium with sets is found, show a new error message and return
to the source selection menu.
Rearrange all source option menus to have the proper set suffix
available (either .tgz or .tar.xz).
