Thanks to gabor@ for building ports for it.
Thanks to erwin@ and kris@ for scheduling the ports build test on pointyhat.
And thanks to many others for their feedback.
of the recent WARNS commits. The idea is:
1) FreeBSD id tags should follow vendor tags.
2) Vendor tags should not be compiled (though copyrights probably should).
3) There should be no blank line between including cdefs and __FBSDIF.
track.
The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$
.\"
If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

Move our old a.out utils to /usr/libexec/aout.
Enable binutils and put the utils in /usr/libexec/elf
Enable objformat, a little helper program that calls the right
utils based on /etc/objformat and $OBJFORMAT.
This will enable the ELF generating tools.
Remember that this is only step one, the system is still compiled
and run in a.out format ONLY.
Problem left to solve: The BSD manpages wins over the GNU equivalents
as the are installed last. We need to distinguish between the manpages
somehow...
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.
so that when ar has a problem (like trying to update a read-only
archive), you get a message like:
ar: xyzzy.a: Permission denined
instead of:
ar: xyzzy.a
Which doesn't really give the user any indication that the operation
really did fail.
This closes PR# 170.
my mailbox since early last year. Fixes a problem with running out of
fds (by hitting the limit or whatever) when ar is given a long list of
objects. The fix was to add a missing close().
