IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
release.conf SVNROOT entries that do not have a trailing '/'.
In order to provide a mechanism to use !svn, the trailing '/'
was added to SVNROOT so there were no assumptions being made
about '/' being in the URL between SVNROOT and SRCBRANCH.

After several months of testing and fixing (and breaking)
various parts of release/release.sh changes, it is now
possible to build FreeBSD/arm images as part of the release
process.
When EMBEDDEDBUILD is set in the release.conf file, release.sh
will create the build environment, then run a separate script
in release/${XDEV}/release.sh [1]. Currently, only arm is
supported.
The release/${XDEV}/release.sh configures the build environment
specific for the target image, such as installing gcc(1),
installing additional third-party software from the ports tree,
and fetching external sources.
Once the build environment is set up, release/${XDEV}/release.sh
runs Crochet, written by Tim Kientzle, which builds the userland
and kernel, and creates an image that can be written to an SD
card with dd(1). Many thanks to Tim for his work on Crochet.
Sample configurations for FreeBSD/arm boards are in the
release/arm/ directory, and Crochet configuration files for each
board are located in release/tools/arm/. Supported boards at this
time are: BEAGLEBONE, PANDABOARD, RPI-B, and WANDBOARD-QUAD.
Adding support for additional boards will continue in the
projects/release-embedded/ branch, and incrementally merged back
to head/.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for the support and
sponsorship of this project.
[1] XDEV is used in order to keep the various configurations
organized by architecture, but since TARGET and TARGET_ARCH
are used to build the chroot, the values of those variables
cannot be used.

src/ and ports/ distributions.
While I am thinking about it, exclude .git directories for src/
and ports/, as somewhat of a followup to r262499.

- Add a VCSCMD variable that defaults to 'svn checkout',
and update places 'svn co' is used directly.
- After sourcing a configuration file, prefix SRCBRANCH,
PORTBRANCH, and DOCBRANCH with the SVNROOT.
- Properly capitalize 'FreeBSD.org' in the default SVNROOT.
- Update Copyright.
release.conf.sample:
- Add an example to use git instead of svn, by nullifying
SVNROOT, and setting SRCBRANCH, DOCBRANCH, and PORTBRANCH
to the URL fo a git repository.
release.7:
- Document VCSCMD.

Building gnu/usr.bin/cc/ with '-j' set blows up quite
impressively, so add '-j1' after WORLD_FLAGS, and add
a comment explaining why '-j1' is there.

to 'make -V OSRELEASE' output.
This probably should use 'make -V OSRELEASE' directly, but for
now, this keeps the line length reasonable for readability.

build to arm/release.sh.
This prevents needing to build a separate chroot environment for
the arm/armv6 builds when it is not absolutely necessary. This
is useful for situations where a single userland build is used
to populate more than one chroot.

- In arm/release.sh:
- Move crochet work directory creation to occur earlier,
since its parent directory is needed to store a fetched
u-boot version.
- Add a before_build() function as a quick hack to run
board-specific (kernel configuration specific, really)
commands, if any.
- For the BEAGLEBONE kernel, a specific version of u-boot
source is needed. Fetch the source in before_build() for
this case. Unfortunately, there are no checksums available
(that I can find) for these sources. For a quick solution,
add the hard-coded sha256 of the tarball, and fetch from
my public_html/ directory. A more permanent solution for
this needs to be found.
Add initial release.sh and crochet configuration files for the
BEAGLEBONE build.
