Re: 1.10.0 release RC1 test ISO is up

[Adrian Michael Nida <nida@xxxxxxxx>]

Matt,

Thanks for releasing this for testing.  While the new installer does use the
correct path, it's now generating another error (code # 2) when installing
packages.  The log says:

,-<<< Executing '/usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_create -b bmake-20051105nb3
/mnt/tmp/bmake-2005105nb3.tgz'
| pkg_create: required package comment string is missing (-c comment)
`->>> Exit status: 2

Line 147 of installer/src/lib/libinstaller/package.c (from the 
bsdinstaller cvs
tree) seems to be the one that needs correcting.  However, the others in that
file should probably receive an inspection as well.

It's also still telling me that passwords can't possess special 
characters.  The
filter is on line 107 of installer/src/backend/installer/fn_configure.c.  I
posted a patch for this a few weeks back, but my home machines are in somewhat
of a transition at the moment.  If it's needed, I can repost.

Thanks again and Good luck,

Adrian
