at least on PicoBSD images, the shell itself coredumps.

original hardware list was mostly organized by driver except for the
case of NICs by Intel, DEC, and 3Com, whose NICs tended to be
organized by manufacturer. Most of these entries are now organized by
driver, except for a few 3Com NICs; also the multitude of ed(4)
drivers needs to be coalesced.
While I'm here, fix a markup glitch in the ISDN section that caused
any non-i386 hardware list to be incorrectly numbered.
+ Remove 'sleep' (not sure why it is so important in fix-it mode).
+ Remove ability to mount MSDOSFS as that is not a typical filesystem on an
alpha; and thus does not really add to the fix-it mix.
+ Sync style with i386.

This change will make it easier to do some minor restructuring.

in crunch.conf -- the previous choice, CWD, was too subject to false
matches (this string will be replaced by the absolute pathname
during the build process).
From the user's perspective:
* everything is now built outside the source tree (more precisely,
in `pwd`/builddir-${name}/ ) except for the kernel config file(s)
which still need to be copied into src/sys/i386/conf because of
"config" limitations. I am not sure if there is an easy way
to get away from this without changing "config" or replicating
some part of the source tree.
This is really the only change that most users should worry about,
but it is a good one.
* if you do cross-compiles (using "picobsd --src somedir/src [--init] ... ")
then the libraries and include directories etc. are searched/created
in "somedir/usr" ;
* you can do most things (basically build the kernel and the crunched
binary and the filesystem trees) without root privileges. You need
privileges to use mdconfig/vnconfig to create the actual MFS and
floppy image, unfortunately.
* the -v option now prints some diagnostic but does not stop for
user input at each step. You need to specify -v -v to have the
old behaviour.
Internally, the script has been reshuffled quite a bit to support
the above features. Many shell variables have been renamed or
made local in an effort to avoid undesired side effects. There is
a somewhat better error handling in case something goes wrong.
tree. Unfortunately the latter cannot be completely readonly, because
"config" still depends on the kernel config file being in sys/${ARCH}/conf
(it seems to derive other pathnames from that one).

before parsing the command line.
Move code to build include and libraries in a separate function,
so we can use the verbose flag for that.
Chang ownership of some directories so more of the build process
(namely, builds of include and libs) can be run without root
permission (we still depend on root permission to mount a memory
filesystem).

as well. This works by selecting "md" or "vn" depending on "uname -r"

Also included minor bugfixes and code cleanup.
Testers welcome, as this code has only been tested on -STABLE

this without giving a lot of background.
net/cvsupd-bin. Also note CVSup update to fix S1G bug.
I'm breaking a self-imposed rule of not mentioning ports-collection
updates in release notes. I'm only doing this because CVSup is a
fairly essential part of the FreeBSD Project infrastructure. Save
for exceptions such as this, the release notes will continue to
document changes to the base system only.

so as to make the "picobsd" script less version-specific.
Improve handling of cross-builds (which requires creation of
includes and libraries for the new source tree).
The "picobsd" script will not probably work on -current because it still
uses 'vn' instead of 'md', but i am commiting it anyways to keep it
in sync with the version in -stable.
DESTDIR. This avoids redundant information in the path when DOCDIR
points to some directory that already implies (or specifies) a certain
language. This is the case with the web site, where the release notes
are already installed under a language-specific directory. This
behavior is not being made mandatory because it might still be useful
to install all the translations in one directory, such as during
testing, or in a hypothetical release notes archive. Furthermore, it
is not being made the default because that breaks consistency with
stuff under doc/.

I guess I pooched the permissions on the scripts before committing them
since they're not executable and now it's too late to change (I think -
I suppose you could chmod the ,v files and it might inheirit but I don't
feel like asking the repomeisters to try that).
Noticed by: Dirk Froemberg <dirk@freebsd.org>
discussed on the arch@ mailinglist (after repo-copy).
sys.mk will .error if it finds /etc/defaults/make.conf but include
it anyways (this is the same behaviour as with the make.conf.local
removal).
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf has BDEFLAGS commented out now,
since it's only an example file.
Adjust all textes that talk about make.conf or defaults/make.conf to
match the new situation.
- build_x.sh now does all the steps to build an X dist rather than being
a child script of package_x_dists.sh
- Update the usage information to list the ports you need to install
before running this script as well as needing to set CVSROOT.
- Make sure CVSROOT is set. If not, exit with an error.
- We now take two parameters: a work directory and an output directory.
The work directory is used as scratch space. All of the bindist will
end up in the output directory.
- Only apply XF86.patch to the checked out XFree86 port if it exists.
- Use XFree86's build-bindist tool to package up the dists using their
distfiles rather than using our own packing lists that have to be
manually updated each time the port changes.
Example usage:

1. Bring floppies.sgml section in-line into install.sgml, where it
makes more sense.
2. Slightly reorganize some sections of Installation section and
do some wordsmithing.
3. Update distribution layout to reflect RELNOTESng and new compat
distributions.
4. Update upgrade file list from 4-STABLE.
5. It's been a long time since 2.2.X; get rid of instructions dealing
with "new" handling of compatability slices and fix up other references
in the text.
6. Hunt down and kill emoticons with extreme prejudice. Try to
tone down the use of exclamation points.
7. Cross-reference new and improved Installation chapter in
Handbook.
8. Add a proper abstract for this document.
* Rename cvsup-bin to cvsup (cvsup-bin does not exist anymore).
* Add the net/rsync port to the CDROM packages.
* Add the misc/compat* ports.
