the main menu.
2. Conditionalized a few small things which needed it.
3. Put PC98 X servers in their own menu, there are so many of them now.
4. Rampaged on the menus.c file in general, reformatting and cleaning up.
Some changes of my own to make screen saver configuration a little
more sane, and also make it easier to get to the keyboard/screen
setup from the options menu.
place (sysinstall.h) when packages change rev.
Change the way that the routing daemon is configured entirely, to
placate Joerg. Also auto-load gated if it's specified, while we're at it.
Add a few strategic screen clears.
Do a lot less wasted screen I/O in restoring screen contents that don't need
restoring.
Use tar instead of cp to back up /etc in installUpdate.
Don't panic when upgrade shell exits.
in one place, leaking memory in another).
Add a facility to invoke subsystems directly by naming them on
sysinstall's command-line when running post-install. A replacement
for pkg_manage might, for example, be `/stand/sysinstall configPackages'
Fix bogon where upgrade shell was entered with tty modes spammed.
Fix bug with release name checking in ftp_strat. Turned a bunch of
bogus exit()s into proper calls to systemShutdown().
More asthetic adjustments to menus.
Improve both the display efficiency and usability of the label
screen - it's now possible to label quite a few disks in the label editor.
I still have a _very very annoying_ display bug which occurs when a menu
item causes a submenu to be displayed - the screen repaints for the original
menu (which is restored upon return from the submenu) are off by about 4
characters. I've tried restoring the screen, the cursor position, you name
it - same deal. Grrrr! This commit is my first step in trying to get someone
else to help me look into this one since I'm just tearing my hair out at this
point!
1. Use new dialog menu hacks (no strings, just arrays of dialogMenuItem structs)
so that I can create composite menus with radio/checkbox/... items in them,
removing some long-standing UI bogons in various menus. This work isn't
finished yet, but will be done in two phases. This is phase one.
2. Remove all the script installation stuff. I never got time to document it,
it was arcane and it just complicated much of the code. There are better
ways of doing this if I want to do auto-driven installations later.
3. Remove much dead code and otherwise attempt to remove as much historical
grot as possible so that this code is easier to hack on. This is also
a two-stage process, phase one of which is now complete.
recent libdisk changes. (sysinstall is guilty of using `private' in
quite more places, but since this ain't in library code, it's not that
important.)
Whenever possible, better not use C++ reserved words...
1. Revamp package installer to use new dependency lists and also
pkg_add's new `read from stdin' mode to prevent a copy of the package
from hitting the disk unnecessarily.
2. More fixes for running "not as init" - don't get upset if CDROM already
mounted, do the right thing instead.
3. If running as init, assume first-time install and _don't show the
(W)rite option in the fdisk screen.
4. Many other little tweaks, some of which will have to wait for fuller testing
until I can create a boot floppy (testing certain system-destroying
features of sysinstall can be a royal pain). Expect some more commits.
This looks like it was developed offline, and is being spammed over the
top of the existing. "That's fine by me! I dont really care how you do
it, just get it in there..." said Jordan in a conversation a short while
ago...
