# 252987 07-Jul-2013 dteske

Fix typos in the BSD License.


# 252980 07-Jul-2013 dteske

Be consistent with other usr.sbin programs w/respect to the copyright
wording ("All rights reserved."); I had the casing wrong on many instances.


# 252744 05-Jul-2013 dteske

Add debugging for each of the initialized default variables.


# 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).


# 251613 11-Jun-2013 dteske

Make the default choice for FTP media access use "auto".


# 251364 04-Jun-2013 dteske

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.


# 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.


# 250323 07-May-2013 dteske

Commit first portion of package module -- this includes the ability to view
categories, view packages, mark packages for installation, de-installation,
or re-installation, calculate and track dependencies, as well as ability to
review selections.

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.).


# 249780 22-Apr-2013 dteske

Partially uncommit r249779. The changes to share/common.subr were good
while the remaining changes were part of a much larger ``secret sauce''
involved in an up-coming commit that I'm still laboring on.


# 249779 22-Apr-2013 dteske

Fix "-D file" to automagically enable debugging if not explicitly disabled.


# 247280 25-Feb-2013 dteske

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.


# 245437 14-Jan-2013 dteske

Don't use f_show_msg() unless printf(1) syntax is required (this reduces the
number of unnecessary forks).


# 245052 05-Jan-2013 dteske

Add support for scripting (sysinstall style).
