Write an intro.4, closing PR#3978
Fix some typos, some unclear english, diddle the nroff a bit.
One outstanding issue: plip.4 has a tbl(1) table in it, but the Makefile
does nothing to format it right.
to ddb(4) that I can glean from the source code as requested by PR#1562.
Portmasters, please check for accuracy.
Also, someone with a bit more facility with mdoc(7) should figure
out why I get the odd indentation when I thought I used the macros
in a reasonable fashion...
pmax section 4 documentation, inspired by PR#4527. Lots of typos,
misspellings, and grammatical errors corrected. A foolish consistency
(the hobgoblin of my small mind) in capitalization enforced for
certain trademarks (DECthis, DECthat, and so on). A little white
space added here and there for clarity. Some nroff peccadillos
tended to. Further remarks over issues not dealt with will be
committed in the PR.
change pfil_add_hook to put output filters at the tail of the queue,
while continuing to place input filters at the head of the queue. update
the two users of these functions, and document these changes.
fixes PR#4593.
gtar. pax has problems extracting certain archives which were made by
gtar and contain trailing trash at the end - gtar ignores this dross,
pax thinks it's valid, and prompts for the second volume.
* new bsd.own.mk variable OBJECT_FMT with values "a.out" or "ELF".
* use OBJECT_FMT in Makefile tests that depend on toolchain.
* Add new bsd.own.mk variable NOSHLIB that, if set indicates a given
port doesnt yet do shared libraries. Set on powerpc.
* Document new feature-test variables in src/share/mk/bsd.README.
Tested on i386, mips, fakedup Alpha environment.
current package (IF called from a package dir and not via bsd.port.subdir.mk;
in the latter case it's assumed that the dependent packages will be scanned
later anyways).
This fixes PR 4992 by Mario Kemper <magick@bundy.lip.owl.de>.
