move the vers.c depend/build goo to Makefile.bootprogs and remove
explicit rules in other Makefiles
sync the message in */version files with other ports using newvers_stand.sh
XXX the new depend rules were tested to limited extend (also with obj dirs)
XXX on i386 and should be ok; the changes should not otherwise influence build
are all the same, so eliminate the redundancy. also, use mrg's
"Version:" trick to find the version rather than using the RCS ID.
(I must have been having a ... bad day.) Also, bump boot and netboot
versions for all the changes that have been happening lately.
provides the correct functions for primary, secondary, and unified
boot blocks. actually behave correctly (e.g. expect correct arguments,
perform correct operations) depending on which you are. also
some minor cleanup.
had a few bugs fixed that let the problem slip in, and since bootxx's
Makefile now goes out of its way to satisfy installboot's undocumented
and totally unreasonable assumptions about the bootxx file it's operating
on. No point in fixing the assumptions, because sooner rather than later
this incarnation of installboot is going to die.
Clean up the "Region 1" related definitions, and define load addresses,
max load size, and max total size for as many boot block types as we can.
(types = unified, primary, secondary). We can't always define all
values for all boot blocks, though.
Make CPP flags selection less gross.
Use objcopy rather than headersize (yay, evil gets a stake to the heart!).
Use a little shell script to verify that the sizes of the boot blocks are OK.
Do not compile too much more of libsa than we actually have to.
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
machines with old firmware which doesn't pass it in the boot device
can work. Assume that if the ethernet address isn't passed in, it
uses the old (dain-bramaged) 'read' interface works on my 3000/300LX.
(1) the if_prom code needs to be cleaned up quite a bit
(right now it hard-codes client's ethernet address), and
(2) much of this code (esp: getsecs.c, netboot.c, newvers.sh,
rpcc.S) should be shared with other Alpha boot blocks,
and dev_net.[ch] should maybe go in libsa proper.
