I'm hoping we can communicate on mutual needs more going forward. I admit I have not used bsdinstall/bsdconfig much yet as my own systems are either HEAD or upgraded from a src tree. I haven't yet had a need to use the installer. So I am not familiar with all of the details. I'll have to trust your judgement on it, but keep in mind I may not understand what you're referring to or where you're coming from on it. I don't want to speak for bapt but he may be in the same position. Thinking outloud... I would love to see the installer allow the user select which repository they want to use. Consider this in a general sense as I still am considering building a WITHOUT_X11 repository for server uses. If that works out (some people think it will have too many problems) then it would be cool if the installer allowed picking between desktop/server repository. A stable repository (like debian does) bound to a release would be great too, but won't be happening soon. More support and planning needs to happen first. As for pkg pulling in the latest, we could probably put a question in the bootstrap to ask the user which repository they would like to use. That would cover other cases as well, and give a way for the installer to skip the question if it already has an answer from the GUI. As for the server selection (I haven't used it), if it's a sub-menu (and not forced part of the installation) then it seems fine to me. If the user is just selecting which server to use pkg.FreeBSD.org vs my.internalhost. My concern was if it was forcing the user to select which *mirror* to use, which we should let the geodns handle in most cases. Again, if it's an optional sub-menu for that then it is probably fine so long as it has a warning that it is less supported than using the main hostname of pkg.FreeBSD.org. Having said all of that, I did just go look in bsdconfig and it seems perfectly fine how it is now. Allowing to pick the default or select your own is perfect. So I misunderstood what you were talking about with selecting a server. --=20 Regards, Bryan Drewery --TqPjJV2TVGwdhfwAcHkwa9AVxiNHvarVW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJT9i7VAAoJEDXXcbtuRpfP7BwIALWB7ptBcK1cG4ImVsp9p+/d Ff8E5F6xbWOqwXiUEoKd+ZFxdD+jV4c2ZEWokT2ExvJLcpERVvguYtCevrfr4TSj t0ggjhpnnz8dTgrbUdmHpu71xW87WRxRD0uFWSmAMldl4l+U+atychOz7HWPuK4B sgxjmH3FuULO6dSl4UQEXF1b85Xvnd+WIJPUg54pmSteSzEkssKf13/Yibo3dUKq v41LSa+8bHT0DyZTv0qV+Lha9G84Q1Ko8oGbM/ICMIzaeQL6znUT8f0ChyBWKbvw js3EOBNS3Z5wHpYnrkOMOd8POPrNtiukbdxtgryAI4cH3RIB3tYsT/E4f7ifmbg= =+o19 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --TqPjJV2TVGwdhfwAcHkwa9AVxiNHvarVW--
