is what the CSRG people call their release in the red daemon book (and
most of the handbook had it that way).
substitute.
(2) Bring the *_DEPENDS section up to the current state. Explain that
the pathname in the "path:dir" pair can be a full pathname if you
want a port to depend on something that isn't executable or an
executable that's not expected to be in the user's search path
(like /usr/local/libexec). Also, change the LIB_DEPENDS example
to use jpeg, tcl-7.3's appropriateness as an example is quite
outdated at this point. ;)
Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).
I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.
The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.
also:
Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.
also:
I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type
make -DWANT_LIBC_R world
to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r.
also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.
so that people can look and comment.
I'll add the at_fork and at_exit immediatly, but I'll
add teh at_shutdown later as it's more extensive
and I desire people's comments..

(2) If that directory has a directory called CVS, remind the user of
the existence of the "-P" option to cvs co and update.
(3) While I'm here, clean up the PATCH_DEBUG code a bit. In
particular, don't duplicate a whole bunch of code just for adding
a single "echo" statement. ;)

(1) The ncr controller supports 53C810/815/825/860/875.
(2) Descrpitions of fxp0 and vx0 were missing.
(3) The ed driver supports SMC 8216 (`Elite Ultra') too.
(4) Add pseudo-device ccd.

(2) Document MOTIFLIB, it's not set in the ports Makefiles but is
important for Motif ports (already documented in the handbook).
(3) Add INSTALL_PROGRAM, INSTALL_SCRIPT, INSTALL_DATA, INSTALL_MAN as
"aliases" of the appropriate install command line, for use in *-install
targets.

eg: options "SCSI_DELAY=15" should be options SCSI_DELAY=15, as config
knows about the "=" and splits it correctly into key=value for the #defines.
The only options that need quotes are those that have numbers as part of
the actual name, eg: "TUNE_1542" and "COMPAT_IBCS2".
pipe the man page source through before compressing or installing.
This can be used to do do (eg) sed substitution on man pages from
3rd party packages (in particular, ncurses and bind-4.9.4)
This should not affect anything already in the source tree.
address - Melbourne is a city in the state of Victoria, not vice versa! :-)
Also add reference to Greg Lehey's books in the appropriate section,
replace some redundant questions by pointers to the Handbook, replace
"look at this bit of the Handbook" pointers by URLs, clean up
inconsistent use of "one" and "you" and fix a couple of typos
introduced by my previous changes...
* Removed material that was duplicated in the installation instructions.
* Updated the address for an Australian supplier of CDROMs (supplied by
David Henshaw via Martin Butkus).
* Give more info about how to get started with the installation.
* Update references to 2.1.0 as "the latest release".
* Added pointer to a Web page explaining how to have multiple operating
systems on the same machine.
* Moved question about running DOS binaries out of the installation section.
* Added question re boot floppy not loading properly.
* Added explanation of disk geometry, moved things around so that "please
refer to the previous question" no longer sends the reader with a
non-booting system to a PLIP cable wiring diagram!
* Mention the time/space requirements for making a custom install floppy.
* Acknowledge a couple of people whose answers I've adapted in various
places (and who deserve credit anyway for answering so many questions!)
I forgot his name whilst typing in the commit message on the
port, and he wasn't in the handbook (I guessed wrong, using Marc
Van Kempen, sorry to both). Now, his name is in here and I
won't get mixed up again!

Submitted by: "David E. O'Brien" <obrien@Nuxi.cs.ucdavis.edu>
(2) Make it clear that when submitting a port, the package is not
necassary.
Suggested by: joerg
(3) Recommend people to use send-pr to send us notifications of new
ports and upgrades so that they won't fall between the cracks.
Suggested by: a lot of people
(4) Add a section about Motif and describe REQUIRES_MOTIF and
MOTIFLIB.
Prodded by: chuckr
(5) Revise the licensing problems section and describe the two
variables RESTRICTED and NO_CDROM.
(6) Fill in the section about upgrading. In particular, recommend to
send in diffs of the old and new ports (these are "ports", not the
original source or anything!), so it's easier to see what has
changed.
Discourage the use of the EXB-2501 by now, and slightly improve the
formatting for this entry.
Correct some minor oddities for the Tandberg entries based on my input

Minor addition to the <!-- tech> section for QIC.

This man page would be a good project for someone who knows
something about the firewall software, and would like to
contribute to the documentation effort. Many of the things
in this man page are out of date and do not reflect reality.
This stuff should not be too destructive if the IPDIVERT is not compiled in..
be aware that this changes the size of the ip_fw struct
so ipfw needs to be recompiled to use it.. more changes coming to clean this up.
(suggested by Darryl Okahata).
* Add explanation of what virtual consoles are
(suggested by Francisco Reyes)
* Minor formatting change to fix docs/1378 (could some kind person
close this for me? Thanks!)
* Removed references to obsolete /usr/share/FAQ/Text directory.
* Added details of UK supplier of FreeBSD CDs.
* Made the consequences of running ``make world'' more explicit.
* More cleaning and tidying up.
comprehensive re-write later.
* Ruthlessly condense questions so they fit on a single line (the
TOC is now actually readable in lynx!). In one or two cases, this
has meant splitting up questions or incorporating part of the old
question into the answer.
* Make it clear that the question about disklabel'ing is actually
about adding a second hard disk, provide a _much_ simpler answer and
move it out of the installation section.
* Don't imply that the AHA2920 is supported (I suspect we will get a
lot of queries about this)
* Reword the non-serious questions to hint that the answer may not be
particularly informative...
* Correct typos and grammar, remove US-centric colloquialisms :-)

based on the HD64570 chip. Both the 1 and 2 port cards is supported.
Line speeds of up to 2Mbps is possible. At this speed about 95% of the
bandwidth is usable with 486DX processors.
The standard FreeBSD sppp code is used for the link level layer. The
default protocol used is PPP. The Cisco HDLC protocol can be used by
adding "link2" to the ifconfig line in /etc/sysconfig or where ever
ifconfig is run.
At the moment only the X.21 interface is tested. The others may need
tweaks to the clock selection code.
