MFC r258458:
Improve network device scanning in the netdev module. First, make it use the
`device.subr' framework (improving performane and reducing sub-shells). Next
improve the `device.subr' framework itself. Make use of the `flags' device
struct member for network interfaces to indicate if an interface is Active,
Wired Ethernet, or 802.11 Wireless. Functions have been added to make checks
against the `flags' bit-field quick and efficient. Last, add function for
rescanning the network to update the device registers. Remove an unnecessary
local (ifn) while we're here (use already provided local `if').

Hoist all the mergeinfo up to the root in preparation for enforcing merges
to the root only. All MFC's were rerecorded to the root.

Going forward, if an MFC includes mergeinfo, it will need to be made to
the root and committed from the root. Merges with --ignore-ancestry
or diff | patch can go anywhere.

The mergeinfo in HEAD is in a bad state from years of neglect and manual
tampering and this was branched into 10.x. This confuses the coalescing
code and prevents it from doing its job.

253333 14-Jul-2013 dteske

Re-implement $probe_only aspect of f_media_get_TYPE() (where TYPE is cdrom,
nfs, ftp, http, httpproxy, etc.) and f_device_get() (abstract method for
calling aforementioned f_media_get_TYPE()).

Previously, if $probe_only was present and non-NULL, the TYPE functions
would check for $file and exit with an appropriate error status (success if
the file exists and readable, failure otherwise).

While this has been retained, a pair of globals has been introduced:
$PROBE_EXIST and $PROBE_SIZE (see `/usr/share/bsdconfig/media/common.subr')

The $PROBE_EXIST global can be used where you need the functionality of
simply testing for existence (previously the _only_ functionality).

Meanwhile, the new $PROBE_SIZE global can be used to cause the TYPE function
to print the size of the file (in bytes) on standard-out (or -1) if not
found or an error occurs. NOTE: If an error occurs, it is logged with the
dprintf function, which is visible with `-d' flag or debug=1.

In many cases, where you need to get the size of a file _and_ check for its
existence, you can use the return status of a $PROBE_SIZE call.


253175 10-Jul-2013 dteske

Introduce a new [yet unused] function for [efficiently] getting the path to
an executable by-name without forking or using externals.

In a performance benchmark of 10,000 runs on circa 2006 hardware, f_which
out-performed `which' with an average completion time of ~2.5 seconds versus
~56 seconds.

This should be handy for future use (not that I make it a habit to call

253117 09-Jul-2013 dteske

Do two things: First, don't obscure the backtitle. Second, read ~/.dialogrc
if it exists to determine if use_shadow is true (ON) or false (OFF).

The purpose of determining the value of use_shadow is to know how many lines
to subtract from the maximum height value in assuring that the backtitle is
not obscured.

The detriment of obscuring the backtitle is that it provides information
that is not easily obtained elsewhere. That is the command-line shortcut
used to access the current menu. As you navigate from one dialog to the
next, invariably transparently corssing module boundaries, the backtitle
represents the command-line argument used to get there. Obscuring this
information with a widget that is too-tall and/or too-wide would see that
data go unnoticed (leaving few other ways to get that information in the
same helpful context).

So despite the fact that this change reduces the standard maximum height for
all widgets, there is a trap-door to prevent this calculation. If you want
to utilize the full screen height on the terminal (remember, this adjustment
is not made for Xdialog(1)) you can set $NO_BACKTITLE to 1 (or any non-NULL
value for that matter) and this calculation will be skipped. You will be
able to draw a widget that partially obscures the backtitle if-necessary.

252836 05-Jul-2013 dteske

Add support for processing add-on modules from /usr/local/libexec/bsdconfig
(this is designed to allow new modules to be installed via ports/packages).

To prevent conflict with itself (sysutils/bsdconfig) as a port (which
installs its base modules to the above directory, it was long-ago decided
that so-called `base' modules would look different than now-defined `add-on'
modules. The structure of the contents for each is the same, but the naming
convention for the module directory must be different.

Base modules are named `[0-9][0-9][0-9].*' to allow SysV-style organization
while add-on modules must avoid this naming style and are simply listed in
alphabetical order by their module directory.

For example, a hypothetical port named `bsdconfig-jails' could install
/usr/local/libexec/bsdconfig/jails and provide `bsdconfig jails' as well as
a new menu entry in the main-menu.

Add-on modules are listed in the main-menu (when bsdconfig is executed with-
out arguments) below a separator after the last base-module.

In `bsdconfig -h' output, add-on modules are listed right alongside base
modules (sorted alphabetically in columnar fashion; left-to-right).

If a base module declares a keyword used by an add-on module, the base
module will always win when given `bsdconfig keyword' syntax.

Add-on modules should avoid declaring any keyword found in `script.subr' as
a reserved-word (`Resword') since bsdconfig also supports `bsdconfig resword'
as a fall-back if no keyword is found to be declared by any module.

Use f_show_msg() instead of f_dialog_msgbox() where appropriate. The main
difference between these two functions:

Usage: f_show_msg() $format_string [ $format_args ... ]
Usage: f_dialog_msgbox() $text [ $hline ]

The former lends itself well to displaying the $msg_* i18n text, prompts,

captured as a response from external commands) -- or if you have to control
the hline.

Add the necessary code to uninstall packages (re-install still pending).
Both scripted access (packageDelete) and UI access have been tested
successfully with a variation of different situations including:
+ Uninstall a package which no other installed package depends
+ Uninstall multiple packages which no other installed packages depend
+ Uninstall multiple packages which depend on each other
+ Similar to above but when ordered removal requires tracing dependencies
+ Purposefully do things like uninstall a package that is not installed
+ Try to uninstall a package which other installed packages still depend
+ Try to uninstall multiple packages which other installed packages depend
+ And many more.

Don't deselect a package right after installing it (this went unnoticed

Add the beginnings of the old networking services functionality of
sysinstall(8). The UI for this will come later while this exposes the
functionality to the scripted interface. Tested successfully to first
install the pcnfsd package from the `Latest' repository, and second to
configure mountd_flags="-n" in rc.conf(5).


252745 05-Jul-2013 dteske

Add the necessary code to install packages (uninstall and re-install still
pending). Both scripted access (packageAdd) and UI access have been tested
successfully with a variation of different situations including:
+ Install a package with no dependencies
+ Install a package with dependencies that are already installed
+ Install a package with dependencies where some are already installed
+ Repeat each of the above from FTP and local Directory
+ Purposefully do things like try to install a package that does not exist
+ Try to install a package for which a dependency could not be loaded
+ Try to install a package that is in the INDEX bot not on the media
+ And many more.


252744 05-Jul-2013 dteske

252737 05-Jul-2013 dteske

Set name of device to directory path (displayed during package operations).


252721 04-Jul-2013 dteske

Implement $probe_only for the media access modules. sysinstall(8) was
allowed to ignore the probe_only argument of its member functions solely
because in the C language, the file accessor methods open and return a file
descriptor and reading of the data is optional. In shell, the file accessor
methods return data on stdout and that data should not be ignored (large
files could block execution).

So, we must adhere to the probe_only flags and in some cases (in the case of
FTP, for example) change the `get' strategy to simply test existence and
return an appropriate status.

This was required because the up-coming package management stuff makes heavy
use of the probe_only argument to try different package suffixes. Every
media access module must implement $probe_only for the `get' accessor.

252112 23-Jun-2013 dteske

Merge r248313 from stable/9 sysinstall(8) to head bsdconfig(8):
Add support for installation directly via HTTP.

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
mediaSetFTPPassive but the remaining FTP menu-item uses mediaSetFTP which
defaults to `auto' (aforementioned SVN r251613).

252085 22-Jun-2013 dteske

Oops, previous revision (r252084) broke non-full-path resolution (e.g.,
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org or ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/). Now both full-path and
non-full resolution is working regardless of trailing-slash.


252084 22-Jun-2013 dteske

Trim the trailing `/' from the ftp_dir when validating that the directory
exists on the FTP server. This now means that when you specify a full-path
to the repository on the FTP server that it doesn't matter whether you have
a trailing `/' or not.


252083 22-Jun-2013 dteske

Take advantage of the fact that f_getvar evaluates the $var_to_get parameter

URLs with port designator from working properly (e.g. http://[::1]:80/).


252020 20-Jun-2013 dteske

When the fall-back of a case-statement is the last thing executed in a
while-loop _and_ all prior matches in the same case-statement either break
or continue, we can safely break the fall-back out of the case-statement.
This should improve readability and allow for longer-lines by reducing the
level of indentation by-one for the fall-back case.

251978 19-Jun-2013 dteske

When I first wrote the timezone module, it was in sysutils/tzdialog and it
pre-dates bsdconfig. Update the code to take advantage of f_dialog_msgbox().


251977 18-Jun-2013 dteske

Change the f_dialog_{yesno,noyes}() function-arguments in `dialog.subr' to
accomodate an $hline value for overriding the default. This change does
not effect any current modules as it turns out that not one single usage of
either f_dialog_yesno() or f_dialog_noyes() relied on accepting more than a
first argument (read: all occurrences quoted the first parameter; so $* was
never depended upon).

This will allow some custom invocations of --yesno and --noyes to roll over
to these functions (for example, in `timezone/timezone').


251975 18-Jun-2013 dteske

[: -eq: unexpected operator

NOTE: Previously mentioned in r251557

Problem caused by removal of $retval to capture exit status of call to

251557 08-Jun-2013 dteske

Fix a bug introduced with r251190, in which a small hunk was forgotten in
the performance conversion process.

The effect of this was the following error when selecting the menu
"Startup"->"View/Edit Startup Configuration"->"Add New"->"Add From List":

[: -eq: unexpected operator

By running `bsdconfig -d' as root to enable debugging, this turns into:

DEBUG: f_getvar: var=[text] value=[
Error: Expected a number for token 4 of --menu.
Use --help to list options.] r=0
[: -eq: unexpected operator

Indicating that the fourth token for --menu which should be $height was
instead a string (the first item of $menu_list) because it was using the
old size-calculation method and $size was now null (needed to use instead
the new size variables of $height $width and $rows).


251556 08-Jun-2013 dteske

Fix a bug introduced with r249751, in which a small hunk was forgotten in
the performance conversion process.

The effect of this was, when your /etc/defaults/rc.conf file changed
(based on md5(1)) and re-generating the file startup_rcconf_map.cache in
/var/run/bsdconfig/ you would get a screen-dump of its contents before the
menu would appear.

251552 08-Jun-2013 dteske

Fix a one-character typo. The effects of which were "Console"->"Ttys" menu

`bsdconfig -d' as root and seeing the following error right after selecting
the "Ttys" sub-menu:

DEBUG: f_getvar: var=[text] value=[
Error: Expected at least 6 tokens for --menu, have 4.
Use --help to list options.] r=0

Typo was introduced by SVN r251361.


251549 08-Jun-2013 dteske

Add a prompt to the "Add User" and "Add Group" sub-menu items (under the
"Login Management" module): Use default values for all account details?

If you select "Yes" (the default is "No"), you'll jump past all the prompts
and jump straight to the review screen with all-default values.

Makes adding a lot of users/groups faster/easier if you don't need to
customize more than one or two different values from their defaults.


251547 08-Jun-2013 dteske

Curb another regression (this one introduced by r251545, itself trying to
fix the regression introduced by r251544; which was trying to make things
consistent w/respect to ESC versus YES versus NO in the password disable
prompt in "Login Management".

(need stronger coffee; very sorry for the churn)

With this revision, the "YES", "NO", and implied ESC options all work as-
expected. Choosing "YES" allows you to proceed and the password will be
disabled. Choosing "NO" will bring back around to enter a password for the
account. Pressing ESC will drop you out of either user or group input and
back to the usermgmt screen.


251545 08-Jun-2013 dteske

Fix a regression introduced by r251544; if user chooses "NO" when being
asked if they would like to disable password authentication for the account,
loop back to prompt them for the password again.


251544 08-Jun-2013 dteske

Check for ESC as a separate choice from "NO" when asking if the operator
would like to disable password management for an account while adding either
a user or group. When being prompted to answer questions while adding a
group or user, two things are trow:

1. You can hit ENTER to blast through all the questions and in the end, the
group or user is created with sensible defaults for all values.

2. You can press ESC during any prompt to cancel the operation as a whole.

This fix is shoring up an inconsistency in the latter (#2).


251543 08-Jun-2013 dteske

Track defaultitem in the password and account expiry menus; if the user
presses ESC or chooses Cancel/No in any of the sub-menus, we want to return
to the expiry menu with that item selected.


251542 08-Jun-2013 dteske

Fix a regression in the "Login Management" module introduced by r251242 in
which choosing to cancel the manual input of expiration time (in seconds
since the UNIX epoch) for either account expiration or password expiration
would see the original value lost.

Shift Console->Saver menu items to place the default item at the top, making
this menu consistent with Console->Repeat, Console->Font, Console->Screenmap
and many others which place the default choice at the top.

NOTE: SVN r249751 changed things so that these menus highlight the active
selection, so the idea that the default choice (now at top) "can be selected
immediately by hitting ENTER" is not possible unless the default choice is
the currently active setting (e.g., on first visit to the menu). However, it
is still warranted to have the default choice at the top of the menu.

Use f_shell_escape() instead of forking to awk. In this case, the
replacement comes with a great performance increase (as f_shell_escape()
uses the built-in based f_replaceall() which out-performs forking to
awk(1)). This should also improve readability slightly.

251361 04-Jun-2013 dteske

Similar to r251236, r251242, and r251244. Introduce new function-pair to
dialog(1) API in dialog.subr responsible for retrieving menu-choice data
(for the --menu widget).

Add f_dialog_menuitem_store()/f_dialog_menuitem_fetch() for storing and
retrieving the menuitem (not the tag) from a --menu widget result.

The dialog --menu widget returns the `tag' from the tag/item pair of choices
for a menu list. Because the menu list is often local to the function that
is displaying it, the ability to dereference this into the item is not
possible unless you use a global. This changes things so the function (upon
successful return of dialog) dereferences the tag into the item and stores
it for later retrieval using these functions.

NOTE: Tags are dereferenced into items using f_dialog_menutag2item().


251357 04-Jun-2013 dteske

251277 02-Jun-2013 dteske

Fix a typo. In this case, the typo caused the f_noyes() invocation to
display a global instead of the passed-argument; however since the global
always has the same value as the passed argument, it made no difference in
the realtime operation.


251276 02-Jun-2013 dteske

Fix a bug in which the user's choice to Cancel was not recognized. This was
caused by the standard (and correct) behavior of the shell to discard the
return status of lvalue-operands in a pipe-chain.

The solution is to not pipe the file-acquisition directly into sort(1) but
instead store the output (allowing immediate testing of the return status)
and later sort it.


251275 02-Jun-2013 dteske

Fix a bug that would cause a spurious warning to appear to appear in an
edge-case. The case was that you have been through the FTP setup once before
and on the second time through, you cancel at the re-selection of a new FTP
server.

The spurious warning was "device_media: not found" and was caused because
the underlying call to f_device_network_down() did not check to see if the
network device existed before attempting to shut it down.

Add checks to make sure we don't forge ahead unless the device exists.


251274 02-Jun-2013 dteske

Fix a bug in which the user's choice to Cancel was not properly recognized.

251265 02-Jun-2013 dteske

Fix option processing from the library layer to address unexpected
behavior(s); e.g., `-Xd' versus `-dX' did not produce the same results.

The libraries common.subr and dialog.subr automatically process the
arguments passed to the program and enable/disable functionality without the
need to process the arguments within your program. For example, if "$@"
contains `-d', common.subr will see this and enable debugging regardless of
whether you process "$@" yourself or not (this automatic processing can
easily be disabled for custom scripts that don't want it; see the afore-
mentioned scripts for additional details).

NOTE: common.subr stores a copy of "$@" in $ARGV for convenient (and
repeated) processing by libraries such as dialog.subr which provide such
transparent functionality for the consuming script(s).

However, the libraries don't know if a program wants to accept `extra'
options. Flags are not really a problem, because the library can be
programmed to silently ignore unknown flags. The trouble comes into play
when the program wants to define an option that takes an argument.

For example:

bsdconfig -D logfile -X

In the above example, the library uses getopts to process $ARGV and if it
doesn't know that `-D' takes an argument, the option processing will
prematurely terminate on `logfile' (this is standard/correct behavior for
getopts but is undesired in our situation where we have partially off-loaded
main argument processing).

The problem is solved by allowing the program to define an extra set of
options to be included in each library's handling of $ARGV. Only options
that require arguments are truly necessary to be pre-specified in this new
manner.

Standardize the way functions build their arguments leading up to a dialog
invocation. Specifically, "top-load" your arguments and in the order in-
which they will be displayed. For example, many [if not all] widgets display
information in the following order, top-to-bottom (visually):

+ backtitle (displayed behind the widget at top-left)
+ title (at the top of the `window')
+ prompt text (just below the title and above whatever widget you choose)
+ Depending on widget, _one_ of the following:
- menu list
- radio list
- check list
- text input box with initial text
- [Xdialog(1)] 2x or 3x text input boxes
- [dialog(1)] a multi-part form
- progress bar
- etc. (many more widget choices)
+ buttons (right below the selected widget)
+ [dialog(1)] the hline (displayed at bottom of `window')

NOTE: Xdialog(1) accepts and silently ignores --hline

When building local arguments for your dialog invocation, if the value can't
be cleanly loaded into a local, add "# Calculated below" to the end of the
local declaration while retaining the block order of argument declarations.

Move other local declarations that are not associated with this top-loading
the dialog arguments to right-above where they are first-used.

Also, standardize on the names of the arguments. For example, always use
$prompt (instead of sometimes $msg and sometimes $prompt); use $menu_list
or $shell_list or $radio_list for those respective widgets; ad nauseum.

While we're doing this, flush-out full arguments for many invocations that
were passing NULL strings (making it unapparent if you were staring at this
one invocation what argument that NULL string was supposed to represent).

Last, while we're in startup/rcconf let's remove the unnecessary use of a
GLOBAL (RCCONF_MENU_LIST) for the menu_list.


251244 02-Jun-2013 dteske

Improve the dialog(1) API in dialog.subr by adding f_dialog_default_store()
and f_dialog_default_fetch(). Operating similar to functions introduced by
SVN r251236 and r251242, these functions operate as a pair for helping track
the default-item data (for the --menu, --checklist, and --radiolist
widgets).

This replaces the direct usage of a global to store the data with an
abstract method for readability and to centralize the code.


251242 02-Jun-2013 dteske

Similar to r251236, improve the portion of dialog(1) API in dialog.subr
responsible for retrieving stored input (for the --inputbox and --password
widgets).

When we (Ron McDowell and I) developed the first version of bsdconfig, it
used temporary files to store responses from dialog(1). That hasn't been
true for a very long time, so the need to always execute some clean-up
function is long-deprecated. The function that used to perform these clean-
up routines for these widgets was f_dialog_inputstr().

We really don't need f_dialog_inputstr() for its originally designed purpose
as all dialog invocations no longer require temporary files.

Just as in r251236, redesign f_dialog_inputstr() in the following four ways:

1. Rename f_dialog_inputstr() to f_dialog_inputstr_fetch()
2. Introduce the new first-argument of $var_to_set to reduce forking
3. Create a corresponding f_dialog_inputstr_store() to abstract storage
4. Offload the sanitization to a new function, f_dialog_line_sanitize()

It should be noted that f_dialog_line_sanitize() -- unlike its cousin from
SVN r251236, f_dialog_data_sanitize() -- trims leading/trailing whitespace
from the user's input. This helps prevent errors and common mistakes caused
by the fact that the new cdialog implementation allows the right-arrow
cursor key to go beyond the last byte of realtime input (adding whitespace
at the end of the typed value).

While we're centralizing the sanitization, let's rewrite f_dialog_input()
while we're here to likewise reduce forking. The f_dialog_input() function
now expects the first argument of $var_to_set instead of producing results
on standard-out.

These changes greatly improve readability and also improve performance.


251236 01-Jun-2013 dteske

Improve portion of the dialog(1) API in dialog.subr responsible for
retrieving stored data (for the --menu, --calendar, --timebox, --checklist,
and --radiolist widgets).

When we (Ron McDowell and I) developed the first version of bsdconfig, it
used temporary files to store responses from dialog(1). That hasn't been
true for some very long time, so the need to always store the return status
of dialog(1) and then call some function to clean-up is long-deprecated. The
function that used to do the clean-up was f_dialog_menutag().

We really don't need f_dialog_menutag() for its originally designed purpose,
as all dialog invocations (even when in a sub-shell) do not use temporary
files anymore.

However, we do need to keep f_dialog_menutag() around because it still fills
the need of being able to abstract the procedure for fetching stored data
provided by functions that display the aforementioned widgets.

In re-designing f_dialog_menutag(), four important changes are made:

1. Rename f_dialog_menutag() to f_dialog_menutag_fetch()
2. Introduce the new first-argument of $var_to_set to reduce number of forks
3. Create a corresponding f_dialog_menutag_store() to abstract the storage
4. Offload the sanitization to a new function, f_dialog_data_sanitize()

NOTE: That last one is important. Not all functions need to store their data
for later fetching, meanwhile every invocation of dialog should be sanitized
(as we learned early-on in the i18n-effort -- underlying libraries will spit
warnings to stderr for bad values of $LANG and since dialog outputs its
responses to stderr, we need to sanitize every response of these warnings).

These changes greatly improve readbaility and also improve performance by
reducing unnecessary forking.

251190 31-May-2013 dteske

Improve portion of the dialog(1) API in dialog.subr responsible for
calculating widget sizes. Instead of forking a sub-shell to calculate the
optimum size for a widget, use a byRef style call-out to set variables in
the parent namespace. For example, instead of:

size=$( f_dialog_buttonbox_size title btitle msg )
$DIALOG --title title --backtitle btitle --msgbox msg $size

The new API replaces the above with the following:

f_dialog_buttonbox_size height width title btitle msg
$DIALOG --title title --backtitle btitle --msgbox msg $height $width

This reduces the number of forks, improves performance, and makes the code
more readable by revealing the argument-order for widget sizing. It also
makes performing minor adjustments to the calculated values easier as
you no longer have to split-out the response (which required knowledge of
ordering so was counter-intuitive).

Import media selection/preparation framework (sysinstall inspired). Makes
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.
