Re: netcfg
Regarding ip calculations.
The main formula for ip calculations is:
nna = nip nsm; /* numeric network addr. = numeric ip bitwise and
numeric subnetmask */
nbc = nip | ~nsm; /* -"-broadcast addr. = -"- -"- or bitwise
inverse of -"- -"- */
You can try my ipcalc (source below).
$ ~/sw/prg/c/ipcalc
Usage:
/home/karl/sw/prg/c/ipcalc [opt] ip.nr/netmask
/home/karl/sw/prg/c/ipcalc [opt] ip.nr subnetmask
Synopsis:
without [opt], will print out the network address, ip.nr, broadcast address,
subnet mask and cidr
opt = -i, used with ifconfig
opt = -r, used with route
Examples:
$ /home/karl/sw/prg/c/ipcalc 192.168.3.34/24
192.168.3.0 192.168.3.255
$ /home/karl/sw/prg/c/ipcalc 192.168.3.34 255.255.255.0

# route add `/home/karl/sw/prg/c/ipcalc -i 192.263.3.35/27`
$ ~/sw/prg/c/ipcalc 192.168.93.22 255.255.255.224

I hope you're not actually copying the code twitch, just the flow.
I have a little debconf C client library that makes it fairly painless
to telk to debconf from C, you can use things like this:
debconf_command("TITLE", "This is my little peice of debian-installer", NULL);
debconf_command("INPUT", "medium", "foo/bar", NULL);
debconf_command("GO", NULL);
debconf_command("GET", "foo/bar", NULL);
if (strcmp(debconf_ret, "true") == 0) {
/* yes, do foo/bar */
}
debconf.{c,h} are currently scattered accross the d-i tree; I intend to
move them into a library that we can link to (shared/static I dunno) soon,
as the current situation is ridiculous.
I figure this is a good place
to start. Other than autodetection and giving the user the option of answering
fewer questions, is there anything new people are looking for in the network
setup? Anything from the current installer that was a problem in the past?
It's always seemed pretty well done to me. I like how it calculates the
third value from the first two. Anyone who understands networking or has
the appropriate numbers on paper can use it pretty well.
We might want to toss in a dotted-quad data type into cdebconf (and
perhaps debconf itself too) to facilitate entering IPs, I don't really
know.
In any case, I'm sort of claiming the network setup,
Great. It definitly needs to be done soon.
Are you going to do just the manual setup, leave dhcp for later? They
should be seperate packages unless they wind up sharing tons of code and
being rather small.

bug with whiptail
While installing a new system I noticed that the way whiptail is highliting buttons is not quite intuitive. At the moment only red/blue shows that you've selected "yes" or "no", that is confusing especially if the default is "yes" for some questions and "no" for some others, while "yes" is always the left button. I.e. one hits tab to change the selection and by accident selects the wrong item without noticing. It would be good if [] could be added to the button when selected, thus you'll have [Yes] and No for example. Regards, Joey -- All language designers are arrogant.

the locale other than language name on boot floppy
Hi there, Can we use 'zh_CN', 'zh_TW' instead of 'zh' to label a translation? This is kinda long, please bear with me. :-) We are in the process of translating the boot floppy into Chinese. There are a special thing for Chinese language. We currently have 2 widely used charset/encoding for Chinese(Big5/GB2312). The Big5 corresponds to traditional Chinese characters used in taiwan and hongkong. The GB2312 corresponds to simplified Chinese used in mainland china, singapore... The simplified Chinese is made out of the traditional Chinese by reducing some strokes in a glyph or combining several similar glyphs into one. People use different charsets often has quite difference Culture and expression. And of course the glyphs sometime look different. So even for Chinese, a user can only guess the meaning of some sentences, words written by people using the different charset. Since both Big5/GB2312 (ie. traditional and simplified Chinese) have mappings in the unicode, he can read all right but just have to guess in order to make the meaning out of the sentences. Since one of the purpose of localization is to make user experience pleasant, we would like to provide users using different charset with different sets of translation. The problem is that the boot floppy currently only look for the 2 character language code (which is 'zh' for Chinese). We want to use zh_CN and zh_TW for simplified and tradtional Chinese respectly. And our pot file will looks like zh_TW.po and zh_CN.po, as the same as most other Chinese localized applications. Are there anything need to be changed in the boot floppy source codes to allow this kind of thing? Or we can just use zh_CN/zh_TW instead of zh and the thing just works?

debconf client support in cdebconf
Since there are a few copies of debconf.[ch] appearing in debian-installer cvs, i've added debconf-client support code to libdebconf (cdebconf) so we don't duplicate it too much. the API is pretty simple: #include debconfclient.h struct debconfclient *client = debconfclient_new(); client-command(client, "INPUT", "low", "foo/bar", NULL); myvar = client-value; (or myvar = client-ret(client); ) /* ... */ debconfclient_delete(client); to compile the library, go to tools/cdebconf, and do ./configure; make add -I(path to tools/cdebconf/src) to your makefile for now, and -L(path) -ldebconf to link. By default libdebconf is built with a rpath set to the path where cdebconf is, so you don't need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If you don't want that you can set --without-rpath when you build cdebconf I'll make a -dev package for cdebconf at some point, but it's moving too fast now and the API may change from time to time. randolph -- Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.TauSq.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
