mininal set of ports required to make the docs. However,
we also need ports/sysutils/cdrtools in order to make the
ISO images. When a platform doesn't have packages, the
release will fail in that case. Add ports/sysutils/cdrtools
to RELEASEPORTSMODULE for the DOMINIMALDOCPORTS case to
handle the NOPORTS release build.
Note that this change doesn't try to handle the NOPORTS with
NODOC case. For we have NOPORTSATALL set and it seems wrong
to check out a ports module in that case.
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

artifact of the BSD label and not to be used. Secondly, gpart(8)

can't find fsck_4.2bsd because there was no fstab file saying what
filesystem type it is looking at so it got the filesystem type from
the disk's label. When that fails admins who haven't been in this
situation before are most likely to try "fsck -t ufs /dev/ad0s1a" because
ufs is the type used in fstab files on working systems but that also fails
complaining it can't find fsck_ufs.
This just sets it up so /stand in the MFS image (/sbin is a symlink
to /stand) includes hard links pointing fsck_4.2bsd and fsck_ufs to
fsck_ffs which is what is present in /sbin on installed systems.

shell. This would break them for floppy based fixit mode which still
seems to use /stand except that vi(1) and more(1) don't exist in /stand
on the fixit floppy so it really doesn't matter what these settings are
there. These paths work for CD-based fixit mode.
This is just "temporary" and on its way to 7.0-REL. I'm too chicken to
make what is probably the correct adjustment this close to release. It
seems /mnt2 is just a symbolic link, and stuff really gets mounted as
/dist. Adjusting paths to that for 8.X is probably the right thing to
do and I'll try that after 7.0 is done.

We have threatened to ditch floppies for 8.0 but I don't want to

building ed (and everything else) for the fixit floppy.
Thanks to jb for pointing out NO_WERROR.

Note that this is only from the install media, not the installed
system where the symbols are still installed, if part of the release.
Should anybody want the symbols which match disc1/livecd, they can
just be extracted from the kernel distribution files.

Also cleanup some code, using || and && in some places, and
using "export VAR=value" instead of two separate lines.
- use proper make configuration for the build, using
${BINMAKE} as evaluated by ${VERSION}/src/Makefile
- remove -lmytinfo from crunch.conf
- remove support for login_access in tinyware/login
- remove "machine i386" from the kernel config file
It might actually be interesting to extend the script to do
a cross build for !i386 ...
