README: Reduce the textdump; describe the project Rework the README to make it a little easier for new users. This is the first file many will see when persuing the FreeBSD source code so - remove some of the text describes how to build. This is better covered in the linked documentation. - add a small blurb for what FreeBSD is. Some users might find this document through features such as github search so they may not even know what the project is generally, gear this file for the new, accidental, or casual user rather than towards someone seeking fuller documentation.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers,
desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has
continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its
advanced networking, security, and storage features have
made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the
busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking
and storage devices.

Simply running ``make world'' will bomb unless you dig up the undocumented HISTORICAL_MAKE_WORLD variable and set it. Note it here so the blow up will not really be a surprise to people who read. Link the buildingworld chapter of our handbook in the README while I'm here.

Source Roadmap:
---------------
README: changes and fixups Two orthogonal goals: - try to make README look a little nicer on phabricator by using Remarkup syntax for commands (using `` instead of using a closing ') - try to make README look a little nicer on github. - Don't encourage `make world` when the handbook specifies otherwise - Change language around documentation to be a bit clearer MFC After: 2 weeks
2015-04-19 07:16:44 +00:00
Spell "FreeBSD" correctly. `buildworld' is no longer a strict prerequisite for `buildkernel' as of Makefile.inc1,v 1.184. Fix kernel configuration files path to look MI. Mention src/kerberos5.

Reflect reality: - Make world doesn't build the modules any more. - Mention the buildkernel/installkernel targets as common used targets. - LINT has gone, NOTES is new but cannot be built. It is a pure reference file. However, I still mentioned LINT but pointed out the difference between the ancient LINT and the new NOTES. This should avoid confusion. - crypto/ subdir isn't export controlled any more.
