- use https where possible
- adapt to cdn/nycdn and our current auto-build conventions
- automate where possible
Many thanks to uwe for lots of *roff help.
+ ARM ABI change
+ new users
+ new groups
- add modules set where missing
- formatting improvements
- note that rtsol{,d} will be gone in the future
- fix raw partition info
- update sparc64 hardware support
- remove note about sparc SMP support being broken
- update some size requirements (still lots of ancient bogus RAM
minimums lingering -- HI PORTMASTERS!)
- various other minor content modernization
- whitespace fixes
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 [${MACHINE}] conditionals for all ports
and maintainers rarely notice that they also have to prepare or update
MD contents in MI content file with messy ifdefs.
XXX: of course common text should be shared by mdoc macro etc.
but I doubt playing mdoc(7) is really worth...
from common/xfer with messy mdoc .if conditionals
into MD xfer files so that developers can see
what contents are missing or obsolete and should be
written or updated
- remove some useless MD description for maintainability
XXX: still a bunch of unmaintained .if \n [${MACHINE}] in common files
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@.
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.
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

written to cover the 2-floppy case as well, so if this file is
updated later with delta's needed on netbsd-2-0, this one revision
does not need to be excluded.
and instead generate them each and every time (twice!).
Based on a suggestion from Alan Barrett, allow setting MAKETOC=no
to permit rebuilding the install notes without regenerating the
.toc files, to allow more speedy debugging of markup changes.
- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check)
- use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate
- introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs
- use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic.
- migrate more stuff into ../common/*
- whitespace cleanup
- lots of other little things i'm sure...
