This is in my list of things to discuss when planning for
woody installation, but I thought you guys might be interested.
The FreeBSD project is working on a generic installation program
library called libh. It abstracts user interface, and disk access
routines, package file handling, and so on.
I liked the UI stuff though, you write your user interface, it gets
translated to equivalent console / X output, depending on which you
desire. The backend is written in C++, things like user interface /
installation logic in TCL. Now I don't like TCL much (anti shell script bias :),
but I think they've got a few good ideas.
If you want a peek at the source:
$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/libh/cvs
$ cvs -z3 co libh
I'm not sure if anything works yet, but should give you an idea :)
Regards,
Leon.
