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).

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

- 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:

quite a bit (but as little as possible) in Makefile.inc's sprinkled
strategicly throughout the tree. This has the advantage of actually

This applies to -current only.
Make sure hints are statically compiled into the kernel,
because the bootloader is not available in picobsd and so the
hints file cannot be found at run time.
(This is kind of inconvenient if you have to handle non PnP devices,
but fortunately these days non-PnP ISA cards are disappearing...)
This must have to do with the use of devfs in -CURRENT, but i
have no idea when the devfs is actually mounted (is it a
side effect of mount -t nonfs or what ?) and when /dev/fd0c becomes
available.
For the time being, let's use this hack. Once I understand how devfs
works, this can be reverted back to the previous value, and also the
part of the build script which creates device entries can be nuked.
This is for -current only.
better place to handle dependencies.
Make another step at helping cross-compiling: when the user specifies
an alternate source tree, the script takes care of creating include
files and libraries for the new tree.
Furthermore, build and use a version of the "config" program which
matches the new sources.
It takes a long time to create libraries, and it might even not do
the right thing at once, there might be some dependencies that i
have forgotten. At any rate, with this code i have been able to

important ("What's New" in the release notes, "Supported Device" in

1. Everywhere I could figure out what driver supported a device or
class of device, there is now a cross-reference via a &man entity.
For cases where a driver has no manpage (and hence no &man entity),
we now at least give the name of the driver. For the most part,
this was done by examining driver manpages.
2. A number of devices which are i386-only are now marked as such,
determined by noting manpages or kernel source files in
architecture-specific directories.
3. Added hardware supported by the vpo(4), wl(4), awi(4), and bktr(4)
drivers, based on a read of the manpages.
The manpages and source files in question were taken from 4-STABLE,
(which is what was running on my off-net laptop at the time)
but at this level of detail, I don't expect there to be any appreciable
differences between 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT.

the need to also create the entire ports tree during a `make release'.
The main motivation behind this is that handling the ports tree still
takes a huge amount of time due to the large number of directories
involved, even on modern disks.
The solution is to establish a list of dependent ports that are
minimally required. This list needs to be manually maintained in case
the doc ports toolchain changes, and has thus been broken out into a
separate file Makefile.inc.docports. (release/Makefile has gotten
overly lengthy already anyway.)
