Hi everybody, I've published a new port (sysutils/bsdconfig) so that we can get some testing on the replacement for sysinstall's [post-installation] "Configure" menu. We're on a tight schedule, so if you have the time and/or energy your timely efforts will be GREATLY appreciated in helping to get this software tested prior to the 9.1-R code freeze. Please welcome "bsdconfig" (port pkg-descr below): bsdconfig is a robust utility for configuring/managing various aspects of the FreeBSD Operating System. Feature-highlights include (but are not limited to): - Modular, stable, efficient and i18n-compatible. - Easily maintained/extendable sh(1) source/syntax. - Works with both dialog(1) in base and Xdialog(1) from ports (x11/xdialog). - rc.conf(5) configuration/management based on sysutils/sysrc - Timezone configuration based on sysutils/tzdialog - Networking management based on sysutils/host-setup WWW: http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/ Again, thank you very much for testing this new software. -- Devin P.S. Due to the large codebase comprising bsdconfig, ample precautions should be taken. I've not noticed any negative behavior in months of usage, but just be warned. P.P.S. I don't think on subscribed to -stable@, so include me in your replies. _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

Sorry, forgot to mention? The port will only install/work on 9.0 or higher. Testing needed on FreeBSD 9.0-R (or higher) and/or PC-BSD 9.0-R (or higher). -- Devin On Jun 21, 2012, at 3:32 PM, Devin Teske wrote:> Hi everybody, > > I've published a new port (sysutils/bsdconfig) so that we can get some testing on the replacement for sysinstall's [post-installation] "Configure" menu. > > We're on a tight schedule, so if you have the time and/or energy your timely efforts will be GREATLY appreciated in helping to get this software tested prior to the 9.1-R code freeze. > > Please welcome "bsdconfig" (port pkg-descr below): > > bsdconfig is a robust utility for configuring/managing various aspects of the > FreeBSD Operating System.

Please give it a try! Thanks! -- Ron McDowell San Antonio TX
