* Merge paragraph for various arch's 'xserver' set, so the size
can be added after that paragraph in one block for all archs.
Todo:
* Where is the 2.0 amd64 snapshot on releng.netbsd.org ?!?
* Portmasters, update your kernels and other MD stuff in here!
* Set sizes (all sets) needed for: hp700 sun2 xen-i386 (see "XXX old")
* Various kernel sizes
* update copyright year
* update list of ports XXX portmasters please check!
* fix a few paths
* note that you can also get into OFW via a BREAK if on cereal console
* pkgsrc is at something like 5000 pkgs
* remove a few numbers that would need maintenance otherwise
(and that aren't easy to determine - ports (not) released in binary)
* Yank section on "upgrade path to netbsd 1.6", same for 1.5
* There are no more README.export-control files (it seems?)
* Update compressed+unpacked src set sizes (estimate xsrc & pkgsrc)
* mention updating via CVS besides SUP
* Update list of obsolete /etc/rc.d files, new and removed users & groups
* Update list of sites that host/run our hardware (-redback, +isc, +ssh.fi)
* Create list of portmeisters from scratch, with list-portmeisters.pl
Todo:
* what's the exact number of ports, archs and cpus supported?
* the "new in 2.0" list needs ... um, creation. Badly!
* "The Future of NetBSD" may need updating
* where is xsrc.tar.gz?
* Fix formatting bug in automatically created portmeister-list
in INSTALL.txt at "UCHIYAMA Yasushi" (XXX needs a *roff guru?)
* the "releng" crew disagrees between this file and
http://www.netbsd.org/People/groups/#releng
* Add vipw(8) and pwd_mkdb(8) as alternatives for editing /etc/passwd
* give a few more pkg_add examples (kde, mozilla, bash)
* Recommend Packages.txt and README as pkgsrc documentation
* Mention postfix and /etc/mailer.conf
Todo:
* what's the place for a pkgsrc-stable.tar.gz snapshot for 2.0?
* Remove mentions of old releases
* More details how to drop into ddb
* Try to mention booting from CD instead of floppies on i386
* Mention mbrlabel(8) to get existing MBR partitions into a disklabel
* Default disklabel name doesn't seem to be "mydisk" any longer
(judging by this week's installation of 2.0_BETA/i386)
* Mention that DHCP will be offered
Todo:
* Enter size of extracted sets w/o X and of X sets (done for 2.0/i386)
(Portmasters?)
* document what netbsd-GENERIC_DIAGNOSTIC is
* i386: the X-server most likely wanted is XFree86
* sparc* ship Xvfb in the xserver set, not Xprt
* no split sets, not even on i386. For now(?)
Todo:
* Where is the 2.0 amd64 snapshot on releng.netbsd.org ?!?
* Portmasters, update your kernels and other MD stuff in here!
* Set sizes need updating (automation?!? or remove them?)
* Fix a few paths and grammar
* VAX can install from CD-ROM (mmm, simh-vax :)
* Add note to unzip inst.fs.gz file before using, on x68k
(XXX someone please check!)
* properly .if the region about floppy being allowed to be write-protected
(seems not applicable to x68k by the comments)
* Add a few likely places where the distribution is on CD-ROMs
* Mention that DHCP is an alternative to remembering IP-numbers
* Update list of available IDE drives to four (wd[0-3]) and
five SCSI disks (sd[0-4]).
XXX please review for hp300, pmax, sgimips, sparc, sparc64 and
maybe remove the ".if!" above that paragraph
* Mention etcupdate for a way to update the etc set
Todo: XXX
* Provide split sets - it's documented and supported by sysinst
(or say how to create them?)
* Fix mentions of "set_name.xx" for the AmigaDOS installation
* x68k: fix to tell where to get "netbsd" from (how to run gzip.x on
netbsd-INSTALL.gz on the x86k's native OS?)
* Someone please either re-summon PS/2 "boot-ps2.fs" or remove the note on it
* Tape install:
.Dl # Ic "cd \*M/binary"
.Dl # Ic "tar -cf" Ar tape_device Ic "misc etc kern"
That doesn't work with today's set format (binary/sets/misc.tgz ...)
Move info about cylinders to the 'ask for units' menu.
(translations need checking, done by cutting sentences)
Stop i386 always asking for units.
Use BIOS cylinders for MBR and disk cylinders for the disklabel.
(code intended to do this, but got it wrong...)
Mark some menus as 'sub menu' or MC_SUBMENU so that the screen underneath
is saved.
Add GENERIC.MPACPI to i386 menu.
and add "errbuf" and "errbufsz" parameters so that errors can be handled
gracefully, rather than simply exiting the process.
- Add a pw_copy() wrapper around pw_copyx() to preserve old behavior for
apps that use it.
- Bump shlib version to 7.4.
gets built and installed in a hp700 distribution.
TODO
- merge with hp300
- pick a preferred method for dealing with the elf headers.
hp700-mkboot and prep-mkbootimage (bintuils) vs mips-elf2ecoff and
tools/installboot
and bcylsize (bios cylinder size) can be calculated in the one place
it is needed.
The ask_sizemult() call will go once I decide what to to with the
(slightly useful) explanatory text about cylinder alignment.
a single function, the latter is now the return value of get_ramsize().
Changed all uses of rammb to get_ramsize().
Used the 64bit HW_PHYSMEM64 so silly things don't happen if the memory size
approaches (or even exceeds) 4GB.
that the Macbinary files in the "misc" directly are now directly executable
from within Mac OS. This solves a "chicken-and-egg" problem: you can't even
distribute a tool to unpack the archives on a plain ISO image, as the
executable code is all in the resource fork on mac68k. In other words, a
user can now begin the installation by simply double-clicking on the Booter
program on the CD-ROM.
