update paths; and include everything in the "base" distribution.
The "games" distribution being optional made sense when there were more
games and we had small disks; but the "games-like" games were moved into
the ports tree a dozen years ago and the remaining "utility-like" games
occupy less than 0.001% of my laptop's small hard drive. Meanwhile every
new user is confronted by the question "do you want games installed" when
they they try to install FreeBSD.
The next steps will be:
2. Removing punch card (bcd, ppt), phase-of-moon (pom), clock (grdc), and
caesar cipher (caesar, rot13) utilities. I intend to keep fortune, factor,
morse, number, primes, and random, since there is evidence that those are
still being used.
3. Merging src/games into src/usr.bin.
This change will not be MFCed.

a list of packages using the bsdconfig(8) API, providing dialog(8) based
user experience (versus plain console output were you to use pkg(8)
directly to install the same list of packages).
Remove example script `browse_packages_ftp.sh', made obsolete because
the digests.txz and packagesite.txz databases for pkg(8) are not
available via FTP (HTTP only to pkg.freebsd.org SRV hosts).
Update example script `browse_packages_http.sh', made to work with new
pkg(8) demonstrating how to generate a local package repository.
Fix a bug in `bsdconfig packages' where packages were listed twice. This
fix requires pkg(8) version 1.2.7_4 or higher.
NB: It is the introduction of pkg(8) 1.2.7_4 wherein I am also able to
drastically reduce the generation time of package dependencies prior to
the dialog display (by utilizing the new `-I' flag to pkg-rquery(8)).
While here, fix a positional argument nit for f_index_initialize() of
`packages/index.subr' include (the one and only argument is positional
argument 1 to state the by-ref handle, indicating the variable to set
in the caller's namespace; the nit I'm fixing here is that we were
querying positional argument 2 for this information incorrectly; caused
by a missing hunk back around SVN r257795).
Fix a bug in sysrc(8) described by PR bin/187458 "sysrc(8) silently and
unexpectedly bootstraps pkg". This was caused by an explicit entry in
`/usr/share/bsdconfig/common.subr' (used by sysrc(8)) that called pkg(8)
to populate the $PKG_ABI global (called in a way that allows implicit
bootstrap of pkg(8)). The solution to which was to find every place in
bsdconfig(8) that requires the $PKG_ABI global and add a layer of
protection by way of introducing the new API call f_musthavepkg_init()
(provided by new include, `/usr/share/bsdconfig/packages/musthavepkg.subr'
intented to mirror `/usr/share/bsdconfig/mustberoot.subr'). When the
$PKG_ABI global is required, you can use `f_musthavepkg_init' to cause
graceful premature termination in the event that pkg(8) has not yet been
bootstrapped, and thus cannot be used to populate $PKG_ABI.
NB: If running interactively ($nonInteractive is NULL or unset), the
f_musthavepkg_init() API call will attempt to bootstrap pkg(8), but only
if the user chooses "Yes" to a Yes/No dialog confirming it is ok to
bootstrap.
While here, simplify an if-conditional in `media/http.subr' include to
use sh(1) inline assignment-with-break.
Also, fix a bug in `media/http.subr' and `media/httpproxy.subr' wherein
the error messages for various HTTP failures were not finding their way
to the console (needed to pass stdout to pass-thru descriptor).
While here, remove the executable bit from `packages/categories.subr',
`packages/index.subr', and `packages/packages.subr' includes.
Fix issues where pkg(8) complains about PACKAGESITE being defined.
Previously, we would set $PACKAGESITE and export it. Now we only set
$PACKAGESITE for invocations of "pkg update" -- getting rid of all the
spurious warnings about PACKAGESITE being deprecated (it's still used
in the case of "pkg update" for simplicity versus having to configure
a config-file).
Remove the leading argument from invocations of f_index_initialize() in
`packages/packages.subr' include. The leading argument no longer means
what it used to, pre SVN r257995).

While we're here, remove the menu-item for Passive FTP (since moving to
ftp(1) and switching FTPMODE to `auto' by default -- see r251613 -- the
single remaining FTP menu-item works for both ftp.f.o and ftp-archive.f.o;
previously each requiring separately active versus passive both work with
the `auto' setting). In scripting you still have mediaSetFTPActive and

defaults to `auto' (aforementioned SVN r251613).
categories, view packages, mark packages for installation, de-installation,

Still to come is the actual processing of selections (performing the
various actions associated with the user's selections, such as installing
dependencies first, then selections, etc.).
accessing files from various types of media nice and abstracted away from
the wet-work involved in preparing, validating, and initializing those
types of media. This will be used for the package management system module
and other modules that need access to files and want to allow the user to
decide where those files come from (either in a scripted fashion, prompted
fashion, or any combination thereof).
Heavily inspired by sysinstall and even uses the same reserved words so
that scripts are portable. Coded over months, tested continuously through-
out, and reviewed several times.
Some notes about the changes:
- Move network-setting acquisition/validation routines to media/tcpip.subr
- The options screen from sysinstall has been converted to a dialog menu
- The "UFS" media choice is renamed to "Directory" to reflect how sysinstall
treats the choice and a new [true] "UFS" media choice has been added that
acts on real UFS partitions (such as external disks with disklabels).
- Many more help files have been resurrected from sysinstall (I noticed that
some of the content seems a bit dated; I gave them a once-over but they
could really use an update).
- A total of 10 media choices are presented (via mediaGetType) including:
CD/DVD, FTP, FTP Passive, HTTP Proxy, Directory, NFS, DOS, UFS, Floppy, USB
- Novel struct/device management layer for managing the issue of passing
more information than can comfortably fit in an argument list.
improve upon the system by giving the user a "Help" button instead of requiring
the user to press F1.
NOTE: In FreeBSD-9 and higher, dialog(1) does not support the F1 hook, so the
mechanism for providing help to the user had to be changed to a button.
This now means we can resurrect *.hlp files from usr.sbin/sysinstall/help/ as-
is and reusing them as-needed in bsdconfig (holding to the goal of losing as
little functionality from sysinstall as possible).
