libinstaller: Add --mbr, --active, and --force options 2010-07-03T09:28:00+00:00 Shao Miller shao.miller@yrdsb.edu.on.ca 2010-07-03T07:47:25+00:00 591ab24b42b606caf4dabbb8bf33dbc421e8f005 In order to consolidate the installer option-parsing system, we add the --mbr (-m), --active (-a), and --force (-f) options from the DOS, Win32, and mtools installers to libinstaller. Since the -m and -a options are not currently valid for the Linux 'syslinux' and 'extlinux' installers, we add error messages to both of these. The -f option is allowed but does nothing for them.

installers: handle asprintf() correctly 2010-07-02T16:39:18+00:00 H. Peter Anvin hpa@zytor.com 2010-07-02T16:39:18+00:00 cb88d31c15a2803950e81663e4d808a31ba4f8c0 It appears that the glibc version of asprintf() is braindamaged, and doesn't set the target pointer to NULL in the event of an error (only returns -1). Therefore we need to check the return value. Just in case someone else made the *opposite* error, also check the pointer. Bleh. The glibc documentation states that *BSD sets the pointer to NULL, but instead of following that, the glibc people put warn_unused_result on asprintf. Sigh. Signed-off-by: H.

linux installer: better error message for missing /tmp 2010-06-21T22:48:29+00:00 George David george@miamisalsa.com 2010-06-21T22:16:58+00:00 316baa765d85a91cd89585ea5cf913bcd2e478a5 Our linux distribution at my job didn't include a /tmp directory. When ever I tried to use syslinux, I would get the following error: ./syslinux: No such file or directory I modified the code to report this: ./syslinux: Cannot access the /tmp/ directory. This would have helped me a lot rather than having to download the source and run it through the debugger to figure out that my /tmp/ directory was missing. I suspect if this ever happens again I'll know exactly what was wrong, but hopefully it will help someone else.
