o Caution against use of `W' options in label/partition screens (dangerous!)
o Make various types of debugging dreck conditionalize on DEBUG flag
o Make a fake /var/db/mountdbtab file so new system doesn't complain
o Apply uniform permissions to entire /usr/X11R6 tree.
o Set erase character to ^H for all interactive commands.
o Don't panic if user exits upgrade shell, reboot.
o Document dangers of `W' options in help screens also.
1. Fix the bogon I introduced that made some root filesystems fail to be
made with `unable to make filesystem on sd1s1a' or some such error
message.
2. Latest installment in the never-ending chapter on making FTP do the right
thing on a cruel internet.
3. Make `express install' a truly express install and split off what it used
to do into a `novice install' that's even more geared to the novice
by asking questions in order, rather than forcing them through the menu
interface.
4. Make anonymous FTP setup truly DTRT.
5. Build lndir directly into sysinstall and make the novice install offer
to set up the ports tree. Also make the ports setup truly explanatory
about what it's doing, and always link the ports destination to /usr/ports
if necessary so that bsd.port.mk doesn't need to be tweaked.
o Lots of documentation fixes.
o Rename FTP active to "FTP" and explain passive mode better.
o Make tcpip screen a bit more friendly.
o Literally dozens of nits.
2. Fix an infinite recursion bug in FTP retry. Tricky, this FTP install!
3. Add messaging routines for scripts.
4. Fix yet more bogons. I think I'm fixing them faster than they're growing,
but it's hard to say. I'm really glad we're throwing this code away for
2.2!
don't bogusly restore the screen to the message that was the cause of the
abort. That resulted in lots of weird flickering dialog boxes that appeared
to be displayed out of sequence.
that the FTP install doesn't deal with timeouts and hasn't since it was
written. Fixed.
2. Totally eliminate the OptionFlags. I only had to work harder to
sync them with configuration variables, so why not simply always use
configuration variables? This has actually greatly simplified areas
of the code.
o Implement the 2.0.5->2.1 upgrade procedure (gah).
o Bring in Coranth's support for configuration of anon ftp and Samba
plus some changes of my own.
o More attempts to actually write the documentation in english.
o Update docs to contain more 2.1-centric information.
I'm really, truly using it). Allow distribution fetch to get .info
files from the root.flp OR the distribution in question, allowing us
to add flexibility to the scheme. At some point, perhaps soon, the
cached copy should probably go away entirely!
Merge today's work.
Now support an attributes file loaded at startup (true front-loaded install).
Add fuller debugging support to all device I/O routines.
Lots-o-bug fixes.
