rc.conf file. This one should reside under etc/etc.${MACHINE}/, and will
get automatically appended to etc/defaults/rc.conf at build time if present.
This is used by i386 and amd64 to append a small MD rc.conf(5) configuration
at the end of the defaults/rc.conf file, so that powerd(8) can be started
by default when we are running in a Xen environment. This is needed to support
save/restore functions for domains.
From all the alternatives proposed to fix that issue (from /etc/rc.conf
parsing in postinstall to etc/defaults/rc.conf arch-hooks) I believe
this one will appease everyone because it:
- does not touch etc/defaults/rc.conf template file,
- patches it at build time for MD hooks only when required,
- does not need to parse/modify a user-specified file like /etc/rc.conf (which
is a complex, error-prone operation),
- only enables powerd(8) by default when conditions are met (Xen environment)
while still allowing root to shoot himself in the foot if he wants to
override this manually in /etc/rc.conf.

from "netbsd.aout-GENERIC.gz" to "netbsd-GENERIC.aout.gz" or so
as src/distrib/common/Makefile.mdset does for mdroot ramdisk kernels.
- Designed to be fully MP-safe and highly efficient.
- Tables/IP sets (hash or red-black tree) for high performance lookups.
- Stateful filtering and Network Address Port Translation (NAPT).
Framework for application level gateways (ALGs).
- Packet inspection engine called n-code processor - inspired by BPF -
supporting generic RISC-like and specific CISC-like instructions for
common patterns (e.g. IPv4 address matching). See npf_ncode(9) manual.
- Convenient userland utility npfctl(8) with npf.conf(8).
NOTE: This is not yet a fully capable alternative to PF or IPFilter.
Further work (support for binat/rdr, return-rst/return-icmp, common ALGs,
state saving/restoring, logging, etc) is in progress.
Thanks a lot to Matt Thomas for various useful comments and code review.
Aye by: board@
decide whether to make kernel modules: set MKKMOD to no for evbppc.
Use this in etc/Makefile to decide whether to do the "modules"
obsolete sets. Move the ./var/db/obsolete/modules entry from the
"mi" to the "module.mi" file set.
Fixes the build for evbppc.
Discussed with uebayasi@
makes {MK,HAVE_}BINUTILS consistent with {MK,HAVE_}{GCC,GDB}.
Allow MKBFD to defines MKBINUTILS as a backwards compatibility hook.
Update the sets lists and add conditionals for lib{bfd,opcodes}.
- we now only create them when building X11, and only create the ones
we need (X11R6 xor X11R7)
- all these subdirs are now in the xbase set
- move the logic for running mtree into etc/mtree/Makefile
- split NetBSD.dist into 3 files, and have the build and postinstall handle
creating a possibly merged one. we still have a single installed file
called "NetBSD.dist".
INSTALL_DIR would want to write to the metalog, and it can't do that
if the metalog is inside DESTDIR but DESTDIR doesn't yet exist.
This allows some XXX comments to be removed.
- introduce X11FLAVOUR to choose src/x11 vs src/external/mit/xorg
for the X11 to build if MKX11=yes is set. it takes the values
of either Xorg or XFree86.
- default to Xorg on alpha, i386, macppc, shark, sparc and sparc64
- remove MKXORG_WITH_XSRC_XSERVER, unused and never useful
