2019-06-12Rework internal data structures and "interfaces to user interface" functionsmartin
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. This work was sponsored by The NetBSD Foundation, Inc.
2018-11-15Make use of the new positional parameters to better describe the firstmartin
partitioning step. Remove size limits/hints encoded in the translations and replace them by values from the code.

2015-04-19Several fixes for the French translation. Looks like the '{\n' break themaxv
interface: the "No" buttons sometimes disappear. Actually I can't test this change right now; will see tomorrow.
2014-08-03(Finally) merge a slightly modified version of the 2012 GSoC resultsmartin
from Eugene Lozovoy: add extended partitioning options to sysinst. Still needs some testing and polishing, but it now is possible to use GPT or to create a RAID set from scratch and install onto it.
2014-07-26Move sysinst sources to usr.sbin.dholland
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.
