Sent to the wrong list the other day... :-/ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: My thoughts on "bsdconfig" Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:31:21 -0600 From: Ron McDowell <rcm@fuzzwad.org> To: freebsd-current <freebsd-current@freebsd.org> I've had some time to poke around dialog, bsdinstall, host-config by Devin Teske, even old sysinstall. Part of that poking involved a simple proof-of-concept that can be found at http://fuzzwad.org/bsdconfig/ : # tar tzvf /tmp/bsdconfig.120115.tgz -rwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 5631 Jan 14 12:53 usr/sbin/bsdconfig drwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 0 Jan 12 12:53 usr/share/examples/bsdconfig/ -rw-r--r-- 0 root wheel 1553 Jan 14 11:56 usr/share/examples/bsdconfig/bsdconfigrc drwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 0 Jan 14 12:08 usr/libexec/bsdconfig/ -rwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 1674 Jan 14 12:17 usr/libexec/bsdconfig/notimplemented then several items in the bsdconfig menu [install docs, user add, root passwd, timezone] execute the code from bsdinstall. This menu was taken directly from sysinstall and will change somewhat. I'm leaning towards using this above as a base, and then merging sections from host-config [with Devin's permission, of course] where it makes sense, as well as using existing bsdinstall sections where it makes sense, and adding my own as-yet-unwritten code for the rest. Also...what are everyone's thoughts on making this program i18n-ready right from the start? Lot of work? Not worth the effort? Must have? Don't need? Thanks. -- Ron McDowell San Antonio TX
