From my vague recollection, we discussed improving bsdinstall by tying
it in with pc-sysinstall, which we've been threatening to do for at
least a year. Also, there was much discussion about Devin's bsdconfig
perhaps tying in with a Google SoC Project.
I think Devin was nominated for most of the work, since he was unable
to defend himself :P
Thanks. From previous discussions with Devin I think he has other
plans for the installer that don't involve pc-sysinstall. But since it
seems the future is all sh(1) code, I won't be able to contribute.
https://wiki.freebsd.org/PCBSDInstallMerge lists a few limitations
with pc-sysinstall - are these being fixed?
I'm not aware of any movement there (on either side of the table). I'd
personally be very suspicious of an all-sh(1) future -- by far the
cleanest parts of bsdinstall are in C -- and this is especially true for
interacting with geom. That said, since I've lost nearly all of my free
time and ability to work on bsdinstall, I won't get in the way of anyone
else working on things
