This works similarly to how the subversion revision is
suffixed in release notes entries when 'revision="NNNNNN"'
is set.
The <para> tag in relnotes/article.xml can now take the
following new elements:
- contrib: defined to what type of contribution the change
is. Right now, only 'vendor' or 'sponsor' are used.
'vendor' is intended for vendor-contributed code, such as
driver updates, etc. 'sponsor' is intended for sponsored
work (the 'Sponsored by:' in the commit template).
- vendor: The canonical name of the vendor.
- sponsor: The canonical name of the sponsor.
- vendorurl: The URL for the vendor website, if applicable.
- sponsorurl: The URL for the sponsor website, if applicable.
If 'vendor' or 'sponsor' are set, but 'contrib' is not, nothing
is rendered. If 'contrib' is set, but no 'vendor' or 'sponsor'
are defined, nothing is printed. If 'vendorurl' or 'sponsorurl'
are set, the 'vendor' or 'sponsor' text is link, otherwise is
non-clickable text.

and working on QEMU. Actually using this script as the regular image
generator, like with the memstick one, will require that the kernel support
EFI too. In particular, the following two things are required:
1. vt(9) be the default console driver
2. vt_efifb and vt_vga be able to coexist usefully in the same kernel
One other note here is that this requires newfs_msdos and mdconfig, which is
really ugly. NetBSD's makefs at least seems to support FAT now. If that
actually works, it should be imported and we can get rid of the mdconfig mess.

2) TARGET/TARGET_ARCH must be amd64; and 3) it must be

This script is not hooked into release/Makefile in any way

For stable/10, r264703 sets the correct WITH/WITHOUT

Also, quite to my amazement, WITH_GCC=1 and WITH_GNUCXX=1

The situation as it stands is:
- gcc(1) is needed for the u-boot build.

The use case here is that /usr/src, /usr/doc, and /usr/ports

IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

After several months of testing and fixing (and breaking)
various parts of release/release.sh changes, it is now
possible to build FreeBSD/arm images as part of the release
process.
When EMBEDDEDBUILD is set in the release.conf file, release.sh
will create the build environment, then run a separate script
in release/${XDEV}/release.sh [1]. Currently, only arm is
supported.
The release/${XDEV}/release.sh configures the build environment
specific for the target image, such as installing gcc(1),
installing additional third-party software from the ports tree,
and fetching external sources.
Once the build environment is set up, release/${XDEV}/release.sh
runs Crochet, written by Tim Kientzle, which builds the userland
and kernel, and creates an image that can be written to an SD
card with dd(1). Many thanks to Tim for his work on Crochet.
Sample configurations for FreeBSD/arm boards are in the
release/arm/ directory, and Crochet configuration files for each
board are located in release/tools/arm/. Supported boards at this
time are: BEAGLEBONE, PANDABOARD, RPI-B, and WANDBOARD-QUAD.
Adding support for additional boards will continue in the
projects/release-embedded/ branch, and incrementally merged back
to head/.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for the support and
sponsorship of this project.
[1] XDEV is used in order to keep the various configurations
organized by architecture, but since TARGET and TARGET_ARCH
are used to build the chroot, the values of those variables
cannot be used.

- Move crochet work directory creation to occur earlier,
since its parent directory is needed to store a fetched
u-boot version.
- Add a before_build() function as a quick hack to run
board-specific (kernel configuration specific, really)
commands, if any.
- For the BEAGLEBONE kernel, a specific version of u-boot
source is needed. Fetch the source in before_build() for
this case. Unfortunately, there are no checksums available
(that I can find) for these sources. For a quick solution,
add the hard-coded sha256 of the tarball, and fetch from
my public_html/ directory. A more permanent solution for
this needs to be found.
Add initial release.sh and crochet configuration files for the

set up for the amd64/amd64 TARGET/TARGET_ARCH combination.
Some of the build tools used here (u-boot in particular) require
use of gcc(1). The lang/gcc* from ports/ will install as 'gccNN'

Add an EMBEDDED_WORLD_FLAGS variable to be used to properly set
up the build chroot. For the RPI-B case, EMBEDDED_WORLD_FLAGS
is set to 'WITH_GCC=1', which is used to set up the build chroot.
While here, in followup to r260895, do not rely on the necessary
configuration files and/or scripts to exist in the build target
src/ tree.
To work around cases where files do not exist, copy (from the
local release/ checkout) the tools/${XDEV}/crochet-${KERNEL}.conf
to ${CHROOTDIR}/tmp/external/crochet-${KERNEL}.conf to make them
accessible to the external utilities that need them (i.e., crochet).

In general, the workflow used for the latest releases has been
to checkout head/release/ to a directory outside of any build
environments, modify the release.conf accordingly, and run:
# ./release.sh -c ./release.conf
By moving tools/release/${XDEV}/ (for RPI-B build testing, in
this case), any dependency on a different branch of the source
tree can be removed. In particular, release.sh expects the
tools/release/${XDEV}/crochet-${KERNEL}.conf file to exist, so
by moving the crochet configuration file to a directory in
release/, it becomes possible to build images for branches that
do not yet have the necessary configuration files and/or scripts.
