so I added a "small" target, because I find this very useful when trying to
shave off a few bytes

working now.

Modified Wed Nov 1 23:16:16 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by joeyh

* added fields for Description and Installer-Menu-Item to the structure.

Revision 95 - Directory Listing
Modified Wed Nov 1 23:15:09 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by joeyh

rebuild .o files if udpkg.h changes (since it has a structure in it..)

enumerated problems

---

Revision 91 - Directory Listing
Modified Wed Nov 1 22:26:22 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by joeyh

status_merge actually writes out a status file now. The file it writers out
is pretty well corrupted, but that's another story. See TODO

---

Revision 90 - Directory Listing
Modified Wed Nov 1 21:54:02 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by joeyh

remove newline

---

Revision 89 - Directory Listing
Modified Wed Nov 1 20:39:48 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by joeyh

* udpkg.c: since we have chdir'd into the tmp.ci directory, the path name
  that was being used was too long.
* debian/rules: create dpkg status directory in .deb

common.h, confmodule.h, config.h: header #define cleanups
database.*, textdb.c: removed the question_add method, renamed template_add to template_set. The idea is that the set method should be smart enough to handle add or replace
loadtemplate.c: simple utility to load templates into the database

---

Revision 60 - Directory Listing
Modified Fri Oct 27 04:06:05 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by ajt

display the title in the text frontend

---

Revision 59 - Directory Listing
Modified Fri Oct 27 03:44:47 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by ajt

commands_* (commands.c) returns DC_OK normally (even if an error happened)
*unless* it didn't manage to correctly inform the user about it (via
snprintf to the buffer). _communicate checks for DC_NOTOK and sends a
"not implemented" error to stderr, and tries skipping to the next input

cope with bad questions in command_input
correctly order the priority/question for command_input
added command_stop

enable the frontend
set the default frontend to be the text frontend

correct frontend_add (the default implementation)

add a _displaydesc function to the text frontend (needs fleshing out still)
set the text frontend to be interactive

add input and go commands to the test.config

---

Revision 58 - Directory Listing

cache templates a little bit more
aj/foo -> aj:foo (not aj_foo, which could misbehave if you *really* tried)

---

Revision 55 - Directory Listing
Modified Thu Oct 26 20:38:05 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by joeyh

added debian packaging stuff to build .udebs. However, it fails with

Revision 54 - Directory Listing

Now using LC_MESSAGES vaule for choosing Description-LL

---

Revision 53 - Directory Listing
Modified Thu Oct 26 18:59:10 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by joeyh

There is no need to store the translated and C descriptions both. Simply
store the translated description in the description field if it exists (and
C otherwise). This simplifies the menu display code a lot, and saves
memory.

---

Revision 52 - Directory Listing
Modified Thu Oct 26 18:43:08 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by joeyh

this looks like a stupid typo in the -ll support stuff

---

Revision 51 - Directory Listing
Modified Thu Oct 26 18:39:53 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by joeyh

fixed a stupid typo

Also worked around a very wacky problem with tsearch

Well, the code doesn't segfault when it runs now. This is good.

---

Revision 50 - Directory Listing
Modified Thu Oct 26 15:16:05 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by nidd

Added description-ll support.

whoops. I forgot to add this for some time

---

Revision 46 - Directory Listing
Modified Wed Oct 25 06:09:17 2000 UTC (12 years, 7 months ago) by ajt

got rid of unnecessary \n in INFO message in configuration.c
confmodule commands are case insensitive
confmodule_communicate should loop
stop doesn't return anything, so if _confmodule_process() returns 0 bytes, don't
  print an empty line
open up pipes for the confmodule <-> config communication
fork more carefully (null terminate argv, exit(1) if exec fails)
removed "in initialize" debug message from database_initialize
don't startup the frontend for the moment
use test/templates and test/questions for the textdb
beginnings of template/question caching
read a question's value, too
added test/test.config for testing

now supports menutest scripts

---

Revision 31 - Directory Listing
Modified Thu Oct 5 23:01:41 2000 UTC (12 years, 8 months ago) by joeyh

Added Status field parsing, and it is used to determine the default menu
item

debconf_command takes a variable argument list, and I was able to use this
to cut down on the exectuatable size some by only hardcoding MAIN_MENU
once.

The item in the TODO is very important in the long run.

---

Revision 30 - Directory Listing
Modified Thu Oct 5 22:14:23 2000 UTC (12 years, 8 months ago) by joeyh

Revision 10 - Directory Listing
Modified Sat Aug 26 21:46:43 2000 UTC (12 years, 9 months ago) by tausq

wow, the topo-sort was easy :-)
well, if you feed it packages that form a loop, the result may not be very
stable, but it should still be correct...

with debugging off and -Os optimization we are still around the 10k mark...
