- Remove *.cro files and not the obsoleted *.lo files.
From Bill Studenmund commit message:
> 3) Generate .cro files rather than .lo files. .lo now is used for "local
> objects" - obj's for the host machine not the target machine.
Delete "\E)0" sequences and make ":as=\E(0:ae=\E(B:"
(some terminals use "1" for "0").
This change makes it easy to use 8-bit encodings, such as ISO8859, EUC, etc.
PR #7126.
the needed endianism of the architecture. One step towards cross-building
releases.
Not touched are newfs calls in install scripts as they run on the desired
machine and thus default correctly.
- don't use sysinst yet, it's not ready for the sparc, go back to
the old miniroot install programs.
- add these programs:
- pppd (nice to install from an SS2 with local floppy & modem only)
- bzip2 (media may be bz2'ed in the RFSN future)
- edlabel (much ligher weight than disklabel)
- expr (miniroot)
- hostname (miniroot)
- netstat (miniroot)
- sort (miniroot)
- remove these programs:
- tset (not used)
- strings (too big now)
- slattach (who uses slip these days, *really* ? see pppd addition)
- disklabel (see edlabel addition)
- shutdown (have reboot/halt already)
- sysinst (not using it yet)
- grow the install filesystem a bit more, to facilitate the new programs.
- use gordons libhack stuff, to reduce the size of the install binary.
- don't need /etc/master.passwd or the {s,}pwd.db files anymore!
- clean up dot.profile a bit.
how to get it to link here. It needs to link statically against
gnu/usr.bin/binutils/common/libcommon.a (which may be in an obj or
obj.arch directory underneath, actually).
can be accessed for cdrom systems. rename "bootfloppy" to "bootfs" as it
is used for cdroms, not just floppies :) adjust paths as necessary for
this merge.
