bsdinstall: Improve pkgbase handling for jailsAdd a new --jail option to the pkgbase script which installsjail-specific set variants if they exist:* "minimal" is replaced with "minimal-jail"* A kernel is not installed.* For sets shown in the component selection dialogue, only show the appropriate variant (jail or non-jail) for the target.Modify the jail script to pass --jail to the pkgbase script.Remove the redundant --no-kernel option, which was added in 15.0 andwas only used to install jails.MFC after: 3000msReviewed by: ifreund_freebsdfoundation.orgSponsored by: https://www.patreon.com/bsdivyDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D52829 List of files: /src/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/jail

9de72af2cceb6fc4aead0990cccdf565531bc248 - bsdinstall: restore the environment when restarting

Fri, 23 May 2025 15:50:42 +0000

bsdinstall: restore the environment when restartingIt is possible to restart the installation process upon errors, wheninstalling normally through the `auto` script, or when installing a jailwith the `jail` script. However, some values obtained interactively fromthe user or guessed by some scripts were kept in the environment whenrestarting the process; this made it impossible to re-run some steps asexpected after the restart.For instance, if a bad choice of mirror was made in the `mirrorselect`phase, restarting the installer remembered the choice made, and wouldnever prompt for a different one again. Rebooting was then the only easyway out of this situation.This change restores a pre-defined list of environment variables whenrestarting the installation process.PR: 266987Reviewed by: emasteApproved by: philip (mentor)Sponsored by: The FreeBSD FoundationDifferential revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D42281 List of files: /src/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/jail

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 20:34:06 +0000

bsdinstall: reset the mirror when restartingIt is possible to restart the installation process upon errors, wheninstalling normally through the `auto` script, or when setting up a jailwith the `jail` script. However, some values obtained interactively fromthe user or guessed by some scripts are kept in the environment whenrestarting the process; this makes it impossible to run some steps asexpected after the restart.For instance, if a bad choice of mirror was made in the `mirrorselect`phase, restarting the installer remembers the choice made, and willnever prompt for a different one. Rebooting is then the only easy wayout of this situation.This change only affects the `jail` script for now, as otherwise thereis no way to tell if the value had been specifically set by the userbefore starting bsdinstall.Reviewed by: baptSponsored by: The FreeBSD FoundationDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D42183 List of files: /src/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/jail

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 15:44:02 +0000

bsdinstall: avoid conflicts with fd 3Throughout the bsdinstall script fd 3 is used by f_dprintf (set through$TERMINAL_STDOUT_PASSTHRU). In several places in the bsdinstalls scripts,we use fd 3 to juggle stdout when calling out to other tools, which cancause the installer to fail with a "Bad file descriptor" error whenf_dprintf attempts to use it.This commit replaces all constructs like this: exec 3>&1 SOME_VARIABLE=$(some command 2>&1 1>&3) exec 3>&-With: exec 5>&1 SOME_VARIABLE=$(some command 2>&1 1>&5) exec 5>&-PR: 273148Reviewed by: corvinkFixes: 1f7746d81f53447ac15cc99395bb714d4dd0a4da ("bsdinstall: stop messing with file descriptors")MFC after: 1 week List of files: /src/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/jail
