With these scripts i was able to build a _working_ image of a
bridge-like floppy image with a reasonable set of utilities
in it, despite the code size increase we have in 5.0
The scripts are slightly different from the previous ones especially
on the place where the kernel and binaries are built. Hopefully
this will not cause too much trouble to people (is there any???)
using the old scripts.
Deprecate the "global" crunch.inc file and the CRUNCHFLAGS global build
options. Tools not policy. Move these global settings out into each
picobsd distribution.
a per program basis allowing a greater control on what is built.
The buildopts file contains Makefile lines of form:
# Anything added to OPTS is added to every build rule.
OPTS= -DNOPAM
# These should only be added to the build of user-ppp.
ppp_OPTS= -DNOKLDLOAD -DNOINET6 -DNONAT -DNOATM -DNOSUID \
-DHAVE_DES -DNORADIUS -DNOI4B -DNONETGRAPH
Really these should be added to crunch.inc, but that file is currently
optional, and if defined masks the global one. Next step will be to move
these global settings back out into the individual builds as OPTS, and
then migrate OPTS and prog_OPTS back into the local crunch.inc file.
Peter's new format, and I'd added hints files for each.
The build process uses the PICOBSD.hints file as well as the config,
and additionally builds with -DNO_MODULES. The build process
probably needs to be converted to use the 'buildkernel' method
instead of running config itself.
The kernels now compile. I've not been able to test the crunch
process however because it used the vn driver and there are no
/dev/vn device nodes under devfs yet. Maybe someone else could
give it a go.
build process in too many cases. Adding mtree to bootstrap-tools
to solve this breaks the upgrade path because mtree needs a
libc that has strtofflags and fflagstostr.
. Bring PicoBSD up to date with -CURRENT reality.
. Make PicoBSD smart and not spam /dev/vn0 and /mnt. Now it uses the first
unused vn device and creates a temporary mountpoint in /tmp.
. Miscellaneous build cleanups and optimizations.
Unfortunately the bridge, isp, and router floppies are too big and need
the axe treatment. The install floppy needs updating to -CURRENT. Dial and
net build and (appear to) run OK. I will be adressing these in the
near future (unless someone beats me to it :-) ).

only way to be sure the build works correctly is to do a 'make all'.
But with these changes, it's easier to test individual targets. In
particular, ensure that the vnode file systems are mounted before
writing to them.
Ensure that we don't get CVS directories on our floppies.
Use kgzip instead of kzip to compress the loader. This saves a few
kB.
Remove some test cruft.
using make instead of custom scripts) and two floppies instead of
one. The resultant floppy can do everything that the individual
floppies (dial, net, install, isp, router) could do, modulo some bit
rot that has occurred since PicoBSD last compiled. It also includes
all the programs on the fixit floppy, which could thus also die.
/bin currently contains the following files:
-sh dump ln ns sps
[ ed login ping stty
badsect ex ls ps swapon
cat expr mkdir pwd sync
chgrp fdisk mknod pwd_mkdb sysctl
chmod find more rdump syslogd
chown fsck mount reboot tar
chroot ftp mount_cd9660 restore telnet
clri getty mount_msdos rlogin telnetd
cp grep mount_nfs rm test

dd gzip msg route umount

df ifconfig mv rrestore view
dhclient inetd natd rsh vm
dhclient-script init netstat sed w
disklabel kget newfs sh zcat
dmesg kill nfs sleep
Structure is in place for using the same build for the other
directories, but I'm no longer sure we need this. The current first
floppy will run fine by itself, but the size of a compressed kernel
has increased by nearly 50% since 3.2, and there's not much space for
anything useful on the remainder of the floppy. The current method
creates a larger mfs and can read as many floppies as the user can
stand. The footprint appears to be round 14 MB.

Handy for doing mass-installs for server farms.
Documentation following shortly.
. Now builds on -STABLE (-CURRENT is broken due to bugs)
. etc directory contents centralized instead of in each
type directory (can exclude & override as desired)
. Removed extraneous language files (lang files for rc really necessary?)
. dialog-based build tool with support for custom floppy builds
. MFS image loads as a mfs_root module instead of compiled into kernel
THIS IS BROKEN ON CURRENT. I'll MFC to -STABLE immediately following.

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.
