Make default installations a bit more secure:
- push a bit harder for setup of a root password
- simplify/clarify manual entropy setup
- visit the entropy setup (on machines where it is needed) on the
default path through sysinst


# 1.19 29-Jan-2022 martin

When upgrading, update the boot code post extraction from
the updated target file system.


# 1.18 12-Aug-2021 martin

PR 56354: all actions to set up swap space are not guaranteed to gain
us enough virtual memory anyway, so drop return codes from set_swap*.
The state for cleanup (which swap dev to unuse) has been made global
some time ago anyway.

Previously use of the return values was inconsistent. Error reporting
will only confuse users and sometimes the situation is hard to fix or
even impossible (like in miniroots copide to swap space for booting).

Add (experimental) entropy input support:
Early during new installs or after upgrades we check if entropy is
available. If not (no hardware random number generator available)
we inform the user and ask them to fix it.

# 1.7 12-Jun-2019 martin

Rework internal data structures and "interfaces to user interface" functions
to get rid of all disklabel assumptions.

Previously (even for GPT partitioning) struct disklabel was used, which
obviously breaks large disk setups. Also many MD parts and parts of the
user interface assumed (a) a struct disklabel is used internally to
store partitioning information and (b) partitions are named 'a' ... $MAXPART.

Get rid of this and replace it with a quite abstract interface that should
be able to deal with all variants in partition storage:

- partitions are stored in a (partly abstract) struct disk_partitions
and most parts of it are only accessed via accessor functions provided
by a "partitioning scheme".

- implement partitioning schemes for MBR, disklabel and GPT (with likely
RDB [amiga] and Apple Partition Map [mac*] to follow soon)

- partitioning schemes may be cascaded, e.g. on x86 when using MBR as
"outer partitions", we have disklabel as "inner partitions".

- all user interface goes via accessor functions in the partitioning scheme,
some of which return pointers to special user interface descriptors
(e.g. to allow editing partition flags, which are scheme specific)

Overall the user interface changes (in this initial step) are minimal but
noticable. A new Anita is needed for automatic test setups - many thanks
to Andreas Gustafsson for lots of early testing and a new Anita version,
and to Manuel Bouyer for cooperation and tests of the Anita release.

Move sysinst sources to usr.sbin.

This commit only physically moves the sources - there are no other
changes, to maximize the probability that this will be treated as a
rename if we ever do manage to migrate away from CVS.

Moving sysinst has been discussed on and off for years and has two
goals: making it easier to work on sysinst, and also making sysinst
available on running systems for use installing chroots and VM images
and other such things. None of the latter is possible yet, but as they
say, one thing at a time.

Doing this now was approved in an impromptu fashion by mrg, riz,

Move sysinst sources to usr.sbin.

This commit only physically moves the sources - there are no other
changes, to maximize the probability that this will be treated as a
rename if we ever do manage to migrate away from CVS.

Moving sysinst has been discussed on and off for years and has two
goals: making it easier to work on sysinst, and also making sysinst
available on running systems for use installing chroots and VM images
and other such things. None of the latter is possible yet, but as they
say, one thing at a time.

Doing this now was approved in an impromptu fashion by mrg, riz,
riastradh, me, and groo.


# 1.17 04-Nov-2020 martin

Add (experimental) entropy input support:
Early during new installs or after upgrades we check if entropy is
available. If not (no hardware random number generator available)
we inform the user and ask them to fix it.

Rework internal data structures and "interfaces to user interface" functions
to get rid of all disklabel assumptions.

Previously (even for GPT partitioning) struct disklabel was used, which
obviously breaks large disk setups. Also many MD parts and parts of the
user interface assumed (a) a struct disklabel is used internally to
store partitioning information and (b) partitions are named 'a' ... $MAXPART.

Get rid of this and replace it with a quite abstract interface that should
be able to deal with all variants in partition storage:

- partitions are stored in a (partly abstract) struct disk_partitions
and most parts of it are only accessed via accessor functions provided
by a "partitioning scheme".

- implement partitioning schemes for MBR, disklabel and GPT (with likely
RDB [amiga] and Apple Partition Map [mac*] to follow soon)

- partitioning schemes may be cascaded, e.g. on x86 when using MBR as
"outer partitions", we have disklabel as "inner partitions".

- all user interface goes via accessor functions in the partitioning scheme,
some of which return pointers to special user interface descriptors
(e.g. to allow editing partition flags, which are scheme specific)

Overall the user interface changes (in this initial step) are minimal but
noticable. A new Anita is needed for automatic test setups - many thanks
to Andreas Gustafsson for lots of early testing and a new Anita version,
and to Manuel Bouyer for cooperation and tests of the Anita release.

Move sysinst sources to usr.sbin.

This commit only physically moves the sources - there are no other
changes, to maximize the probability that this will be treated as a
rename if we ever do manage to migrate away from CVS.

Moving sysinst has been discussed on and off for years and has two
goals: making it easier to work on sysinst, and also making sysinst
available on running systems for use installing chroots and VM images
and other such things. None of the latter is possible yet, but as they
say, one thing at a time.

Doing this now was approved in an impromptu fashion by mrg, riz,
riastradh, me, and groo.


# 1.12 23-Jul-2019 martin

For upgrade / re-install allow the currently running system as a target
in the "disk" selection.


# 1.11 23-Jul-2019 martin

Fix the "reinstall sets" action.


# 1.10 23-Jul-2019 martin

When searching for a partition that may be the root partition for upgrading,
allow "/", "/targetroot" and "/altroot" as potential last mount points.


# 1.9 24-Jun-2019 martin

If low on ram, mount the proper swap partition before doing the main
upgrade work.


# 1.8 20-Jun-2019 christos

Use _fmt_ msg_ methods when formats are needed.

Rework internal data structures and "interfaces to user interface" functions
to get rid of all disklabel assumptions.

Previously (even for GPT partitioning) struct disklabel was used, which
obviously breaks large disk setups. Also many MD parts and parts of the
user interface assumed (a) a struct disklabel is used internally to
store partitioning information and (b) partitions are named 'a' ... $MAXPART.

Get rid of this and replace it with a quite abstract interface that should
be able to deal with all variants in partition storage:

- partitions are stored in a (partly abstract) struct disk_partitions
and most parts of it are only accessed via accessor functions provided
by a "partitioning scheme".

- implement partitioning schemes for MBR, disklabel and GPT (with likely
RDB [amiga] and Apple Partition Map [mac*] to follow soon)

- partitioning schemes may be cascaded, e.g. on x86 when using MBR as
"outer partitions", we have disklabel as "inner partitions".

- all user interface goes via accessor functions in the partitioning scheme,
some of which return pointers to special user interface descriptors
(e.g. to allow editing partition flags, which are scheme specific)

Overall the user interface changes (in this initial step) are minimal but
noticable. A new Anita is needed for automatic test setups - many thanks
to Andreas Gustafsson for lots of early testing and a new Anita version,
and to Manuel Bouyer for cooperation and tests of the Anita release.

Now all platforms add swap if the system has <= 32M of RAM.
