hi folks i do some work on the s390 port and see the following not realy bugs: - cdebconf uses \r for the progress bar which the terminal don't support, it looks like this: | Y 1.5%" Y 1.5%" Unpacking autopartkit | Y 3.0%" Y 3.0%" Retrieving base-installer | Y 4.5%" Y 4.5%" Unpacking base-installer | Y 6.1%" Y 6.1%" Retrieving baseconfig-udeb | Y 7.6%" Y 7.6%" Unpacking basec | onfig-udeb Y 9.1%" Y 9.1%" Retr | ieving bugreporter-udeb Y 10.6%" Y | 10.6%" Unpacking bugreporter-udeb | Y 12.1%" Y 12.1%" Retrieving cdebconf-priority - netcfg-static recalculates the gateway and dns if the ip is changed within the same network. - cdebconf should not use translated strings on dumb terminals. - anything uses parted now which neither supports block sizes != 512 bytes properly, s390 internal storage is a variable record size storage and linux uses 4096 byte blocks by default, nor does it support ibm disklabels.
things which needs to be fixed:
- it must be possible to restart main-menu within a telnet session, the
internal s390 is too limited
- the archive is full with not longer builded binary packages
(hw-detect-full, netcfg for example)
