seperate exit values depending on the error. (The error values are
#defined and commented near the top of the file for clarity). This
is to help write a small bit of shell script for /etc/rc that calls
ypwhich a few times after ypbind is invoked to make sure we're
actually bound to a server before proceeding (if we aren't, the
automounter can fail if it's using NIS maps).

2. Add a "feature" to pkg_create (OK, OK, it's a miserable hack!) to get
it to dump its internal packing list out so that the `fake-pkg' rule in
bsd.port.mk can generate a more meaningful packing list.
ypbind.c: if a client program asks ypbind for the name of the server
for a particular domain, and there isn't a binding for that domain
available yet, ypbind needs to supply a status value along with its
failure message. Set yprespbody.ypbind_error before returning from
a ypbindproc_domain request.
yplib.c: properly handle the error status messages ypbind now has the
ability to send us. Add a ypbinderr_string() function to decode the
error values.
ypwhich.c: handle ypbind errors correctly: yperr_string() can't handle
ypbind_status messages -- use ypbinderr_string instead.
Change the interfaces of these functions to save space. The code
that takes the least amount of space is often the opposite to what
you might expect. E.g., it helps to waste a few bytes passing
pointers so that the compiler can't see that certain addresses
are identical (gcc likes to waste space by reloading fat constants
even when the constant is already in a register).
Rewrite getbootdev() to save 80 bytes of space and to make it less
ugly. 32 bytes were saved simply by omitting the continue statements
in the pseudo-switch.
recently introduced bloat in just 2 calls to biosread(), although
very little in calls to putc() and serial_putc(). Gcc produces
amazingly bad code for unnecessary conversions. E.g., if it has
`int x' in register %edx and wants to pass a char, then it could
simply push %edx and access only one byte in the callee. Instead,
it sometimes unnecessarily spills %edx; it always sign extends
%edx and pushes the result.
Remove useless `extern' in function prototypes.
Remove unused declaration of `end'.
Declare pbzero() and pcpy() like the library bzero and bcopy().
Declare printf() properly.
- it succeeded on non-directories (see POSIX 5.1.2.4).
- it hung on (non-open) named pipes.
- it leaked memory if the second malloc() failed.
- it didn't preserve errno across errors in close().
examination, I'm not entirely sure this was meant to be public. It's not
idempotent or anything. I'll make pkg_manage deal with it another way
until it's been confirmed one way or the other by Marc.
do fit, and beeping in case of an overflow.
. Drop a comment about the ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' option into
README.serial.
. Increase the name buffer for the root directory from 100 bytes
to 8 KB; this is in no way ideal, but (IMHO) the best that can
be done by now. People did encounter problems with their root
dir name listing overflowing the allocated buffer space. Once
we've got the three-stage boot, we should implement some basic
malloc(). Swap space is already getting tight now, perhaps the
swap should go into another 64 KB segment instead.
. Make the keyboard probe less paranoid. It should not give up in
case of a keyboard that's continuously demanding RESEND's. Even
though the keyboard reset apparently has not been reported to be
complete, it's at the very least proven that there IS something
like a keyboard available.
This solves problems with the ``Gateway-2000 AllKey programmable''
(sp?) keyboard, that experienced a total hang with the previous
probe.
Thanks goes to Scott Blachowicz <scott@statsci.com> for his
extensive testing of my various interim (debugging) bootblocks
to get this working.
build, install) are now all skeletons and do nothing but
(1) Call pre-* target (if exists)
(2) Call scripts/pre-* script (if exists)
(3) Call do-* target
(4) Call post-* target (if exists)
(5) Call scripts/post-* script (if exists)
The do-* targets do all the work. The pre-* and post-* targets/scripts
don't exist by default. The main targets check for the cookies too, so
porters shouldn't have to worry about them at all.
NOTE: THE MAIN TARGETS IN THE PORTS MAKEFILES SHOULD GO AWAY. We need
to fix this before wcarchive comes back up. Change the names to do-*,
rip out the cookies, rip out the calls to pre-* etc. and most of them
should work.
Also, reorganize the whole thing so that similar targets are together
and add more comments. Surround section header with 64 #'s (C-u C-u
C-u # in emacs :).
Hopefully this will be the last major change to bsd.port.mk. Now let
the Makefile-hacking begin.
some (hopefully) less offensive stupidity:
If we detect that a user has loaded a module that fails to initialize
itself correctly, panic. There really isn't a safe way to recover from
something like this; we can't know that the module is bad until after
the entry point is called, by which time it's too late to do anything
about it.
now that we have the space.
If this works out to our liking, we will kill BOOTFLP.
Now, if only we could extract the kernel, incl symbols from a kzip'ed kernel...
