Extensible partitioner based on libparted and cdebconf
Hi!
At http://lml.bas.bg/~anton/partman you can find the first components
and the documentation of a new partitioner for the Debian installer.
Currently the following things should be fixed:
1. Anna doesn't want to unpack the udebs automatically.
I have no idea what caused this. In order to test the udebs in real
situation I used to unpack them manualy (udpkg --unpack <package_name>).
2. There are no progress bars.
This can be annoying. I will fix this soon.
3. Create package partman-ext3.
This is easy and I will do this. Currently the partitioner supports
only ext2, swap, fat16 and fat32.
4. Add support for reiserfs.
I expect this to be trivial provided we have udeb for
libreiserfs0.3-0.
5. Add international support.
6. See how the partitioner works on slow machines.
