I've updated the following three patches to make them
apply cleanly against setup-2.599

6689-goossens-rev1-rh.patch
6688-switch-p-rh.patch
854-peschko-cmdlines-rh.patch

I've also attached a "series" that can be used withe
quilt to manage application and removal of the patches:

Please note that this is 99% other peoples work and
that all I've really done is massage it to fit into
the HEAD source.

Here's what the patches are supposed to do:

6689-goossens-rev1-rh.patch

   Adds -t and -c options to allow text-mode mounts and
   user mounts to allow unattended setups.

   I had to modify it so that it applies cleanly from
   within the setup tree

6688-switch-p-rh.patch

   Adds -s (--software) option to allow the user to
   specify a set of package names on the command line

   No local changes necessary. -s conflicts with the
   --site option. We could use -o (object/package) but
   for testing, you have to specify the full (--software)

854-peschko-cmdlines-rh.patch

   Adds -E (use IE5 settings) -H (proxy name) -P (proxy port)
   to allow unattended setups.

   Adds -a (install all) -u (uninstall all) and -e (reinstall all)

   I had to add a netIO class prefix in ConnectionSetting.cc

   I also hadd to add some missing class members to package_meta.h

Please consider these for addition to future versions of setup.

Cheers,

Ralph Hempel
