* Use "mknod -F netbsd -r" to create nodes, instead of
"rm ; mknod; chmod; chown".
This means permissions & ownership of existing nodes will
not be changed.
This is up to 30% faster when populating an empty /dev,
and nearly 2x faster when re-running on an existing /dev.
* New options:
-f force change of permission & ownership of existing
devices
-m mknod override name/path of mknod program
(which defaults to $TOOL_MKNOD, then "mknod").
-s generate mtree(8) specfile instead of creating devices
* Remove /usr/etc from $PATH; not needed anymore.
* Provide functions to create devices & directories:
mkdev name [b|c] major minor [mode{=600} [gid{=0} [uid{=0}]]]
create device node `name' with the appropriate permissions
lndev src target
create a symlink from src to target
makedir dir mode
create directory with appropriate mode
* UIDs and GIDs are hardcoded in at MAKEDEV generation time.
(Unfortunately there's not a simple way of determining a GID
a la "id -n user" for determining a UID).
This was tested by generating MAKEDEV for each MACHINE,MACHINE_ARCH
combination and comparing the results of "MAKEDEV all" from the
previous version to the new one.
(This testing actually highlighted mistakes in the previous configuration!)
Simplify distrib/common/Makefile.makedev to use "MAKEDEV -s"
at MAXPARTITIONS/OLDMAXPARTITIONS in kernel sources, so that it wouldn't
need to be specified separately in MAKEDEV.conf
change platform MAKEDEV.conf to contain only MD targets and nothing else;
simplify the parsing in MAKEDEV.awk accordingly
this contains information about disk partitions used by platform,
and MD MAKEDEV targets, such as 'init', MD part of 'all',
as well as any other MD-specific targets not covered by MAKEDEV.tmpl
any pipes and running other commands (eg dd).
Measurable speeds up creating pseudo ttys.
(there has to be a better way than editing 51 files! - tedious at only
6 key presses per file)
program/tool from "FOO" to "TOOL_FOO". The new variables are:
TOOL_ASN1_COMPILE TOOL_CAP_MKDB TOOL_CAT TOOL_CKSUM TOOL_COMPILE_ET
TOOL_CONFIG TOOL_CRUNCHGEN TOOL_CTAGS TOOL_DB TOOL_EQN TOOL_FGEN
TOOL_GENCAT TOOL_GROFF TOOL_HEXDUMP TOOL_INDXBIB TOOL_INSTALLBOOT
TOOL_INSTALL_INFO TOOL_M4 TOOL_MAKEFS TOOL_MAKEINFO TOOL_MAKEWHATIS
TOOL_MDSETIMAGE TOOL_MENUC TOOL_MKCSMAPPER TOOL_MKESDB
TOOL_MKLOCALE TOOL_MKMAGIC TOOL_MKTEMP TOOL_MSGC TOOL_MTREE
TOOL_PAX TOOL_PIC TOOL_PREPMKBOOTIMAGE TOOL_PWD_MKDB TOOL_REFER
TOOL_ROFF_ASCII TOOL_ROFF_DVI TOOL_ROFF_HTML TOOL_ROFF_PS
TOOL_ROFF_RAW TOOL_RPCGEN TOOL_SOELIM TOOL_SUNLABEL TOOL_TBL
TOOL_UUDECODE TOOL_VGRIND TOOL_ZIC
For each, provide default in <bsd.sys.mk> of the form:
TOOL_FOO?= foo
and for the ${USETOOLS}=="yes" case in <bsd.own.mk>, provide override:
TOOL_FOO= ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${_TOOL_PREFIX}foo
Document all of these in bsd.README.
This cleans up a chunk of potential (and actual) namespace collision
within our build infrastructure, as well as improves consistency in
the share/mk documentation and provision of appropriate defaults for
each of these variables.
- Add ${.CURDIR} to various rules.
- Remove the ${KERNOBJDIR} (sys/arch/${MACHINE}/compile) objdir creation
from here.
- Rework iso-image to copy temporary files (such as kernels or boot files)
into a temporary directory instead of stomping over ${RELEASEDIR}, and
use mkisofs -graft-points to merge the temporary directory and
${RELEASEDIR}/${MACHINE}.
NOTE: mkisofs 2.0 is highly recommended for functioning -graft-points
- Add some more comments
MD disktab where possible (everything but vax)
the MD disktab was often either empty, or contained entries even for disks
which support geometry autodetection (SCSI), and/or non-interesting/long
obsolete entries
the old records are still available in example disktab in
/usr/share/examples/disktab/disktab in case anyone would need them
for all platforms.
- remove now unnecessary replicated code in the various snap_md_post targets
- remove snap_md_pre; nothing uses it any more
- use ${NETBSDSRCDIR} and ${KERNSRCDIR} as appropriate
