barring any more little things people want added ...]
New features:
* progressmeter is now asynchronous, so "stalled" transfers can be
detected. "- stalled -" is displayed instead of the ETA in this case.
When the xfer resumes, the time that the xfer was stalled for is
factored out of the ETA. It is debatable whether this is better than
not factoring it out, but I like it this way (I.e, if it stalls for 8
seconds and the ETA was 30 seconds, when it resumes the ETA will still
be 30 seconds).
* verbosity can be disabled on the command line (-V), so that in auto-fetch
mode the only lines displayed will be a description of the file, and
the progress bar (if possible)
* if the screen is resized (and detected via the SIGWINCH signal), the
progress bar will rescale automatically.
Bugs fixed:
* progress bar will not use the last character on the line, as this can
cause problems on some terminals
* screen dimensions (via ioctl(TIOCWINSZ)) should use stdout not stdin
* progressmeter() used some vars before initialising them
* ^D will quit now. [fixes bin/3162]
* use hstrerror() to generate error message for host name lookup failure.
* use getcwd instead of getwd (it should have been OK, but why tempt fate?)
* auto-fetch transfers will always return a positive exit value upon failure
or interruption, relative to the file's position in argv[].
* remote completion of / will work, without putting a leading "///".
This is actually a bug in ftpd(1), where "NLST /" prefixes all names
with "//", but fixing every ftpd(1) is not an option...
#defining MALLOC/FREE to use malloc()/free() if DIAGNOSTIC (not DEBUG)
since DIAGNOSTIC is what enables freelist consistency checking, and
don't force the definition of KMEMSTATS if DEBUG is defined (there's no
reason to, since users can do it themselves if they want it).
pass the block number of the boot partition to the kernel. The kernel
will use the block number to determine which disk device the kernel was
booted from and set the boot device based on that instead of the old
"generic" method.
* prototype it before it is used (several ports compile with
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes), so this is _necessary_.
* conform to C syntax (yes, that's right, it wouldn't parse).
* make error check less error-prone, + style fixups.
and the root device:
- New "file-system" keyword is used to configure file systems into
the kernel.
- New way of specifying root device, which allows root file system
type to always be specified. Examples:
config gennetbsd swap generic
config sdnetbsd root on sd0a swap on sd0b
config nfsnetbsd root on nfs
are replaced by:
config gennetbsd root on ? type ?
config sdnetbsd root on sd0a type ffs swap on sd0b
config nfsnetbsd root on ? type nfs
config lenetbsd root on le0 type nfs
Note that specific network interfaces may now be specified as
the root device.
- swapgeneric.c is no longer used; generate a swap*.c file for each
"config" line in the kernel configuration file.
