apb 2912d6fb40 Comment out an example, which was accidentally uncommented in my previous
change to this file.  This is where the mystery /dev/foo came from.

apb beae89cd6d In MAKEDEV.tmpl:
* Add a nooutput function to be used instead of redirecting to /dev/null,
  because /dev/null might not exist early in the boot sequence.  This
  should fix a bug in which the pax autodetection failed when used from
  init(8) with a read-only root file system without a /dev/null.
* Move most of the main program into a new makedev_main function,
  to allow reuse by MAKEDEV.local.

In MAKEDEV.local:
* Use the new makedev_main function defined in MAKEDEV.  This allows
  MAKEDEV.local to support all the options understood by MAKEDEV, instead
  of only a subset.  This should fix a bug in which the setup() function
  could try to use pax mode even though that was previously not supported.

In MAKEDEV.local man page:
* Update list of command line options.
* Don't explain all the options, just refer to MAKEDEV(8) man page.
* Remove BUGS section now that all MAKEDEV options are supported
  by MAKEDEV.local.

apb 68723a5b5f Remove MAKEDEV.subr. This removes the risk of third party scripts (or
human procedures) breaking because they assume it's enough to copy
MAKEDEV fom one place to another.

Let MAKEDEV return after defining shell functions but before doing any
real work, if MAKEDEV_AS_LIBRARY is set.

Let MAKEDEV.local load MAKEDEV as a function library via
"MAKEDEV_AS_LIBRARY=1 . MAKEDEV".

apb f21f1a9ef9 If we are called as 'sh MAKEDEV ...', then we would previously have
tried to do '. MAKEDEV.subr'.  That doesn't work, we need to do
'. ./MAKEDEV.subr' in that case.

ramdisk images.

apb 11b77839b6 s/MAKEDEV.tmpl/MAKEDEV.subr/ in a comment 2007-02-28 13:14:38 +00:00
apb 142606111b Provide a new MAKEDEV.subr file containing utility functions for
use by both MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV.local.  This allows MAKEDEV.local
to accept the same command line arguments as MAKEDEV.

The installed MAKEDEV.subr is generated from MAKEDEV.subr.tmpl.

Replace the licence on MAKEDEV.local with a NetBSD licence, since I
rewrote the entire file.

perry 07a71fdfd0 Make MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV.local mutually consistant. Reported in
pr #2596 by Tatoku Ogaito, but my fix is different from his.
This is purely an aesthetic change.
