These were only used on PDP-11 for two programs we don't ship,
and have been obsolete since the VAX days.
xstr never worked in the build.sh cross-build environment (22 years), or
parallel make environment (nearly 28 years), didn't work in the orignal 386bsd
import, and has never been needed in NetBSD as we don't have the older BSD
programs (pascal, pre-nvi ex) that needed mkstr/xstr on PDP-11.

allow conditionally disabling the building of certain user space
programs in the 'base' set.
There is not enough consensus that this is the right way and a few
people had strong objections, see source-changes-d@.
Driver module as illustrated here:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13911
A SCMD module is a ARM SOC simular to a Arduino in front of a motor
driver chip. The single SCMD module can control two motors and up to
16 additional modules can be chained together using an internal I2C
bus. One can interface with the SCMD using tty uart commands, SPI or
I2C. The driver in this commit adds a kernel driver for the I2C and
SPI interfaces. The command line utility provides a set of
convenience commands that support most of the functions of the SCMD
and is able to use the tty uart mode, SPI user land or the included
kernel driver in a uniform manor.
The use of the SCMD module is mostly for small robots and the like,
but it can control anything that is controllable by voltage.
Originally, MKCRYPTO was introduced because the United States
classified cryptography as a munition and restricted its export. The
export controls were substantially relaxed fifteen years ago, and are
essentially irrelevant for software with published source code.
In the intervening time, nobody bothered to remove the option after
its motivation -- the US export restriction -- was eliminated. I'm
not aware of any other operating system that has a similar option; I
expect it is mainly out of apathy for churn that we still have it.
Today, cryptography is an essential part of modern computing -- you
can't use the internet responsibly without cryptography.
The position of the TNF board of directors is that TNF makes no
representation that MKCRYPTO=no satisfies any country's cryptography
regulations.
My personal position is that the availability of cryptography is a
basic human right; that any local laws restricting it to a privileged
few are fundamentally immoral; and that it is wrong for developers to
spend effort crippling cryptography to work around such laws.
As proposed on tech-crypto, tech-security, and tech-userlevel to no
objections:

P.S. Reviewing all the uses of MKCRYPTO in src revealed a lot of
*bad* crypto that was conditional on it, e.g. DES in telnet... That
should probably be removed too, but on the grounds that it is bad,
not on the grounds that it is (nominally) crypto.
script from othersrc to usr.bin/sys_info
The sys_info script is a small script which will show the version
information for installed utilities. It also works on the kernel, and
on most libraries.
Its use is as follow:

The -a option can be given to the script to print out the information
on all known components.
The sys_info script also works on libraries, returning their
"versions" as given by the shared object version numbers.

we want to switch back to ours, we should probably add the extra
flags GNU added first.
window(1) was replaced by tmux(1) on March 2011. The source code has
been reimported into othersrc/usr.bin/window and an up-to-date package
is available in pkgsrc/misc/window.
This removal was approved by core@, with the condition that it be done
once netbsd-6 had been brached. And the branching has just happened!
This code has been developed by Abhinav Upadhyay as part of Google's Summer
of Code 2011. It uses libmandoc to parse man pages and builds a Full
Text Index in a SQLite database. The combination of indexing the full
manual page, filtering out stop words and ranking individual matches
based on the section gives a much improved user experience.
The old makewhatis and friends are kept under MKMAKEMANDB=no for now.
for talking to the server and for setting the interface address
and route. However, otherwise it is quite different, since we need
to be working under the assumptions that there is no stable storage
on a rump instance, and that there are n networking stacks on a
given host.
