[arch-releng] Syslinux Patches - Review
Here are the Syslinux patches that I have been working on for the last month or so. TODO: * Update Documentation accordingly The syslinux installation process relies on a script I wrote, syslinux-install_update, which will be included in the Syslinux arch package. Thomas is going to try to push a new syslinux package, with the script, to testing in the coming days. If there are no problems the package, then it will be moved to core. # Patch 3 - Prompt user to pick a bootloader in interactive_select_packages As per my discussion with Dieter, we now ask the user what bootloader they want to use during package selection. We then select the appropriate package for installation. The bootloader that the user picked gets stored in a variable (bootloader) and referenced at "Install Bootloader" where it triggers either interactive_grub or interactive_syslinux. Without this new functionality, if the user did not manually select a bootloader in "Select Packages" they would have to go back, select a bootloader, reinstall the packages, etc...

You told me to do this in chat and I did. I'm not sure why the patches I submitted didn't reflect this. :( Anyways this is fixed

Sorry!
interactive_syslinux depends on the syslinux-install_update script that
is in the Arch Syslinux package.

Provide. Not provides. btw something is messed up. some of my complaints on your patch 3 are taken care of in patch 2 so you fixed them in patch 2 but redid the issues in patch 3? maybe you should merge patch 2 and 3 On Sun, 20 Feb 2011 23:09:36 -0500 pyther@pyther.net wrote:

"no bootloader" is an accepted solution -> return 0, not 1 ! otherwise the step will register as failed.

I know we (Dieter and I) chatted about using $supported_bootloaders for
ask_option but I couldn't figure out any useful way to provide
additional information next to the bootloader without creating an array
like this. supported_bootloaders=(syslinux "some info" grub "some more
info") which would seem to defeat the purpose of supported_bootloader.

i'm not sure 100% what all you have going on here, but i use a lot of
heredocs in these bash "data table" situations:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
key=none
val=none
echo -e "START\n[key] $key" "[val] $val\n"
process_opts () {
while IFS="=" read k v; do
# can't use key/val directly because
# last loop (EOF) will reset them!
key="$k" val="$v"
echo "[key] $key" "[val] $val"
done
}
process_opts <

store heredoc in variable (best of both examples, at cost of `cat` call and subshell):
opts=$(cat <
... and something else just for grins :-) as i didn't think of it
until right after i sent my msg ...
---------------------------------
read -rd $'\0' opts <
Matthew, how about making supported bootloaders an associative array, key being the package name, and value the description? (in the description for syslinux you can then reference syslinux_supported_fs) there are some examples of associative arrays in lib-blockdevices-filesystems.sh you can as easily collect the keys (IIRC use [@] instead of [*] or something) as the values themselves, I do this in some places in aif, but google can tell you aswell.
