HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.
For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.

parts relied on the now removed NET_NEEDS_GIANT.
Most of I4B has been disconnected from the build
since July 2007 in HEAD/RELENG_7.
This is what was removed:
- configuration in /etc/isdn
- examples
- man pages
- kernel configuration
- sys/i4b (drivers, layers, include files)
- user space tools
- i4b support from ppp
- further documentation

NET_NEEDS_GIANT. netatm has been disconnected from the build for ten
months in HEAD/RELENG_7. Specifics:
- netatm include files
- netatm command line management tools
- libatm
- ATM parts in rescue and sysinstall
- sample configuration files and documents
- kernel support as a module or in NOTES
- netgraph wrapper nodes for netatm
- ctags data for netatm.
- netatm-specific device drivers.

NET_NEEDS_GIANT, which will shortly be removed. This is done in a
away that it may be easily reattached to the build before 7.1 if
appropriate locking is added. Specifics:
- Don't install netatm include files
- Disconnect netatm command line management tools
- Don't build libatm
- Don't include ATM parts in rescue or sysinstall
- Don't install sample configuration files and documents
- Don't build kernel support as a module or in NOTES
- Don't build netgraph wrapper nodes for netatm
This removes the last remaining consumer of NET_NEEDS_GIANT.

FreeBSD manual pages:
- POSIX-copyright contains copyright text to be used in manual pages
which has POSIX text inserted.
- deshallify.sh is a shell script which removes many of the ``shall''
statements from the POSIX text and therefore making the text more
readable.
Real work to make this happen by: nectar, ru
- Add OpenBSD example rulesets as advertised in etc/pf.conf and pf.conf(5)
- Tweak the pointer to fit the FreeBSD default location share/examples/pf
- Account for the new directory in BSD.usr.dist (no hier(7) change required
as share/examples is an opaque item there).

We don't install dot.nsmbrc or smbfs.sh.sample, since we already install
the former as /etc/nsmb.conf and the latter is unnecessary, since
boot-time mounts can be arranged directly within /etc/fstab without fear
of breaking the boot when the smbfs port (now unnecessary is removed).
The MFC reminder below is subject to <re@FreeBSD.org> approval

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
the verbose output for `make -s install' and gives nicer output for
`make install' and `make -n install'. This method should be used more.
Install meteor and startslip. In fact, install all subdirectories
except CVS. This method should be used more so that SUBDIR lists don't
have to be changed so often (special cases could be handled by short
exclusion lists).
the 'rm -rf' and cpio was bugging me because rdist used to get false hits
and also it installs the files with the wrong uid.
I've tried this by running a find .. -exec ${INSTALL} ...; instead...
