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@.
state of reality: comment out O2 references since 1.6 won't support the
O2, add notes on installing via a net-booted kernel, disk partitioning
(disk must have IRIX volhdr, one-disk split NetBSD/IRIX install has not
been tested and may/may not work). Also expand/add some examples.
XXX: Should add info on the "extra" kernel sets like the INSTALL_INDY,
etc. sets.
after the removal of the kern-GENERIC set from sysinst. While here, fix up
some minor things (wording, bad markup, typoes) in the non-sgimips specific
common portions.
