drop down menus everywhere (OS, DNS, scheduler, confmgmt, virt, TLS)

[nusenu]

lets make 'os' a drop down menu if we can find a good source for 'give me all OSes there are'

lets make DNS location 3 drop down menus (one for each line in resolv.conf) primary DNS resolver secondary DNS resolver

• local
• sameas
• remote

Scheduler is a checkbox, should probably be a drop down menu

• KIST
• KISTLite
• Vanilla
• default
• don't want to say / don't know (selected by default)

configuration management

virtualization

TLS library

So, just to make sure I understand correctly - the "Where is the resolver located" field should turn into a drop down with the 3 options (local, sameas, remote) on each one? You only said primary and secondary resolver so why 3 drop downs?

[nusenu]

Your understanding of my idea is correct. I was a bit inconsistent with the 2 vs. 3.

Since OpenBSD allows up to 5 'nameserver' entries, how about:

• Q: How many nameserver entries do you have in your /etc/resolv.conf file? -> generate drop downs based on the answer

If that is to fancy lets just have a static set of 3

[erans]

I can add a "+" / "-" button so that you can add as many resolvers as you have setup.

The code then needs to "merge" all the values, so if the first is local and the 2nd and 3rd are remote the value of the field would be:

dnslocation:local,remote,remote

or

dnslocation:local,remote

?

[nusenu]

dnslocation:local,remote,remote

This one.

I'll review the spec to see if it is too loosely specified.
