and that controls which platforms are being built as part of a "make
universe". By default TARGETS is set to the 8 platforms currently
being built. This variable is useful for running or re-running a
"make universe" with only a selected set of platforms. This makes the
universe target slightly more useful in cases the universe is limited
to a developer's scope or objectives. For example, when a universe
failed for a particular platform and fixes need to be tested for that
particular platform then a developer can restart the universe for
only that platform, even if the initial universe is still building
other platforms.

- removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries.
- works in interactive (default) and batch mode
- respects DISTDIR
- documented in UPDATING and build(7)
The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add
obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete
files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem.
Additionally add check-old target:
- allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces
Design goals:
- allows full control by the user (default interactive mode)
- possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode)
- opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files)
- seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets)
Important design decissions:
- structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file:
* allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified
without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected
yet)
- not using mtree like NetBSD does:
* mtree doesn't has an interactive mode

the "make -n universe" output looks more builder (human) friendly.
- Wrap the "universe" target into a ".if make(universe)"; it's only
intended to be called directly so it should be safe to do it.
and adjust the path in the Makefile for the upgrade_checks target.
These checks are really feature upgrade checks that should be fast
and just find out whether we need to build a new make before
proceeding with other targets like buildworld. This makes the
place free for a real regression test suite in the old place.
testing for variables that are always defined (e.g.,
"make -V CC") would still print a false warning. Fix
this by only passing a submake the MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=*
argument if it was present. As a result, we loose
the check for -DMAKEOBJDIRPREFIX, or an esoteric
"MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX = foo" (with embedded spaces), but
these are unorthodox enough to not care about them.
The make(1) bug mentioned in the previous revision
was just fixed in make/main.c,v 1.109.
When make flags are passed to make in the environment, the string is
chopped up in an (argc,argv) vector. This happens in brk_string() and
the chopped up string is stored in static buffer. When this includes
something like "-V BINMAKE", then a pointer into the static buffer is
put on the variables list for evaluation later. However, brk_string()
is used for more than just chopping up the MAKEFLAGS env. variable, so
it's very likely that the static buffer is clobbered. In fact, this is
exactly what happens.
The result is that _MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX gets assigned whatever garbage
the child make happens to emit, causing the test to fail. Like this:
pluto2% cd /usr/src
pluto2% make -V BINMAKE
"/q/6.x/src/Makefile", line 94: MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX can only be set in environment, not as a global (in /etc/make.conf) or command-line variable.
pluto2% make -dv -V BINMAKE | & grep _MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
Global:_MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX = }
The fix is to not use MAKEFLAGS for this, but simple pass the flags
as arguments. Ideally make(1) should be fixed but that's beyond the
scope of my attention span.
This fixes release.

but the biggest issue is that there are situatons when
${.OBJDIR} == ${.SRCDIR}, and in those situations the previous version
would happily remove all your /usr/src while it was cleaning out the objects.
Not that *you* would be happy about it... Thanks to bde for immediately

This change is by no means perfect and I don't even want to claim
this to be a solution. It does however address the fact that not
everybody likes to see make(1) rebuilt simply because the regression
test failed for some reason or other, including pilot error. It
therefore serves the purpose of keeping the crowd happy until we
have something better or simply reached a compromise.
The reasons for changing the default behaviour are:
o It avoids a negative, possibly non-intuitive option,
o It's according to POLA and fond of feet,
o Only buildworld is documented to do its best to be
successful at reasonably cost.

comprised of the path to a make(1) binary (possibly the one
built by the "make" target in this Makefile), and a path to
a fresh share/mk. The idea is to allow "make release" pick
up the right "make" binary, if one exists.
This fixes release.5 I broke with the last commit here; the
second PATH here was overriding the right one from WMAKEENV
while rebuilding the "build-tools" for crunched binaries.
# If -DWANT_AOUT is specified, a `make world' with OBJFORMAT=elf will
# update the legacy support for aout. This includes all libraries, ld.so
# and boot objects. This part of build should be regarded as
# deprecated and you should _not_ expect to be able to do this past the
# release of 4.0. You have exactly one major release to move entirely
# to elf.
Now that we're past 5.0, these aren't needed at all anymore and it is
well past its freshness date.
When we call "distributeworld" as part of "make release", we set
MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH to point to TARGET and TARGET_ARCH; this
confused src/Makefile's idea of what ${MAKEPATH}, and consequently
${MAKE}, is (well, it still confuses ${MAKEPATH}, but see below).
To overcome this problem, we now take the following approach:
- We preserve the make(1)'s idea of its argv[0], ${MAKE}.
- We check to see if ${MAKE} passes the regression tests.
- If it does, we use it. Otherwise, we build and use an
up-to-date make(1).
This fix is still not quite right, in a situation where a single
/usr/obj is shared between different architecture machines, but
it is less critical and I hope to fix that soon.

now install it into a safe location, and use it from there.
