Hi, In the the recent sysinstall thread there seems to be general agreement that having a post-install configuration tool is a good thing. Until such a tool is written I think it would be a good idea to use sysinstall for this purpose. I am willing to do the work to restore sysinstall and maintain it as a post-install tool until a new one is written. My plan would be to: - Restore sysinstall and libodialog - Statically link libodialog and make it specific to sysinstall A rewrite of sysinstall to use libdialog is not worth it. It would be better to just write a new configuration tool at that point. - Remove front end non-configure facing features (ie "upgrade" and installation options) - Remove scripting support from sysinstall Additionally I would agree to - Ensure that sysinstall continues to function as time goes on - Review and test patches to sysinstall What I am not agreeing to: - Rewrite sysinstall - Make a new tool Please follow up to freebsd-sysinstall_at_ -- Eitan AdlerReceived on Tue Jan 03 2012 - 22:34:06 UTC
