"pty0 pty1 pty2 pty3" before, for a total of 64 device nodes, we now want
just "pty0" for a total of 62 -- the original commit had "pty0 pty1" for a
total of 124, which ate too many inodes and made "ls /dev" a bit messy.
Changes taken from the i386 MAKEDEV. Note that the unusual use of 'dd'
to index an array was chosen because 'dd' is on all ports' install media.
This form of this change comes from Andrew Brown; the original idea to
bump the number of ptys this way comes from Brian Marcotte at Panix.
more consistent. To quote the comment in etc/Makefile
that describes how it's done:
# This target builds the kernels specified by each port. A port may
# specify the following kernels:
#
# KERNEL_SETS The list of kernels that will be
# packaged into sets, named
# kern-${kernel}.tgz. These kernels
# are also placed in the binary/kernels
# area of the release package as
# netbsd-${kernel}.gz.
#
# EXTRA_KERNELS Additional kernels to place in the
# binary/kernels area of the release
# package as netbsd-${kernel}.gz, but
# which are not placed into sets. This
# allows a port to provide e.g. a netbootable
# installation kernel containing a ramdisk.
#
# BUILD_KERNELS Additional kernels to build which are
# not placed into sets nor into the
# binary/kernels area of the release
# package. These are typically kernels
# that are built for inclusion only in
# installation disk/CD-ROM/tape images.
#
according to cvs log of basesrc/etc/etc.sun3/ttyaction and
archive of source-changes, it was backed out with MAKEDEV
because of portability issue.
but i think ttyaction doesn't have that issue as it's never
executed on non-NetBSD environment.
does not install the un-patched ramdisk kernels. The snap_md_post
target builds the installation ramdisk image, patches that into the
ramdisk kernels, and installs them. Also the miniroot.
Automated snapshot build works now.
1. Provide a consistent and extensible framework for compiling
kernels for the "make snapshot" target.
2. Add OBJDIR support for the "make snapshot" target, in the form
of three new make variables: KERNOBJDIR, KERNSRCDIR, and KERNCONFDIR.
Default values are in the Makefile.inc, and for OBJDIR they should
be defined in /etc/mk.conf as
KERNSRCDIR=${BSDSRCDIR}/sys
KERNOBJDIR=${BSDOBJDIR}/sys/arch/${MACHINE}/compile
The next step is to make a new target in the src/etc/Makefile for "release"
(or something like that) to make release(7) format files.
