snj 35a4e6246f don't look for now-gone sparc/legal 2015-05-20 05:21:24 +00:00
snj 83a500f842 merge port-specific legal sections into the common file. most of these
entries were already in the common file, and it's a pain to maintain
them separately.

tsutsui ab8e3da666 Move common/contents file into MD dirs again.
I know it isn't a good thing to have many copy-and-pasted contents
(set file descriptions etc) in all MD files, but it's much more annoying
to maintain a bunch of .if \n [${MACHINE}] conditionals for all ports
and maintainers rarely notice that they also have to prepare or update
MD contents in MI content file with messy ifdefs.

XXX: of course common text should be shared by mdoc macro etc.
     but I doubt playing mdoc(7) is really worth...

tsutsui f64fbb8f70 - move "MD instructions on setting up boot media"
from common/xfer with messy mdoc .if conditionals
  into MD xfer files so that developers can see
  what contents are missing or obsolete and should be
  written or updated
- remove some useless MD description for maintainability

XXX: still a bunch of unmaintained .if \n [${MACHINE}] in common files

pavel 4195ecc3d2 Make the port-specific changelog ($MACHINE/whatis) optional by using .pso
to call a shell script which outputs nothing if the file is not present.

Remove the "whatis" file for ports where it does not contain anything
useful and hasn't been updated for years. OK tsutsui@, hubertf@.

pavel afa2ab7f6c Clear the old list of changes (between NetBSD 2.0 and 3.0 releases) as a
preparation for filling the list of changes between NetBSD 3.0 and 4.0
releases. In some obsolete claims like "this is the n-th major releae of
NetBSD for the xyz platform" replace n by XXX.

mishka 64c7b74aad PR/13749 - Incorrect options specified for dd(1) in tape installs.
Cleanup dd options accordingly to the following policy:
    1) put if, of, bs, conv in this order
    2) for reading/writing from/to disk don't use sync
    4) reading from tape - use sync
    3) writing to tape - use osync

Noted by Don Yuniskis (auryn at gci-net.com) via install/13749. Thanks!
