[pve-devel] [PATCH installer v2 0/4] auto-install-assistant: allow specifying 'fetch-from' partition label

[Christoph Heiss]

This series allow specifying the partition label the
`proxmox-fetch-answer` tool will search when trying to retrieve an
answer file in the 'partition' fetch mode.

This has been requested by at least one user one user [0] and definitely
makes sense, esp. for BMCs/IPMIs where one might not be able to control
the partition label.

Patch #1 implements the new CLI parameter in the
`proxmox-auto-install-assistant` tool, patch #4 then integrates it into
the `proxmox-fetch-answer` itself. Patch #2 is just a small (but needed)
refactor of the CLI parsing code.

Patch #3 implements also searching for the partition label in the exact
case it was specified by the user. This is something I stumbled over
while testing it - see the patch itself for some more information.
