On head/, or more specifically, when WITNESS is in
the kernel config, the console is spammed excessively
with lock order reversal between isofs and devfs.
Set debug.witness.trace=0 in the installer sysctl.conf
to avoid printing the full KDB stack backtrace. This
does not prevent printing the lock order reversal has
happened, only lessens the console spam.

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.
mini-memstick.img with UEFI support.
As the comments in the file suggest, 1) there must
be existing ${.OBJDIR}/usr/src/release/{release,bootonly};
2) TARGET/TARGET_ARCH must be amd64; and 3) it must be
a vt(4)-enabled kernel with vt_efifb (*not* vt_vga).
This script is not hooked into release/Makefile in any way
until further testing is complete.

Restore make-memstick.sh back to its original state to

I have in-progress work to keep the MBR layout and add
the EFI partition, but it is not yet ready, and does
need at least one full release build to be certain it
does not break.

dedicated' partition scheme, reported to cause the memstick.img
to fail to boot.
Similar to how make-memstick.sh worked on stable/8, use makefs(8)
to create the actual filesystem. Then calculate the size of the
resulting image file, create the GPT partition scheme, then dd(1)
the filesystem created with makefs(8) to the freebsd-ufs GPT
partition.
This was tested on a known-working machine[1] for regression, and
a known-not-working machine[2] to ensure the boot issue has been
resolved.

X-MFC-Note: fix stable/10 XDEV_FLAGS local for branch
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
For stable/10, r264703 sets the correct WITH/WITHOUT
knobs to get xdev built with the arm-freebsd-gcc binary
installed. Unfortunately, the same fix does not work on
head/.
Also, quite to my amazement, WITH_GCC=1 and WITH_GNUCXX=1
causes xdev to fail spectactularly at least on r264791.
The situation as it stands is:
- gcc(1) is needed for the u-boot build.
- cc(1) *cannot* be clang(1)
To shoe-horn the toolchain to make 'xdev' give what is
needed, remove WITH_GNUCXX=1 and add WITH_GCC_BOOTSTRAP=1.

- gcc(1) fails to build usr.bin/dtc
- lack of WITH_GNUCXX=1 causes cc1plus(1) calls to fail
- u-boot fails to build with clang (hard-coded gcc(1) calls)
Implement the proper incantation of WITH_/WITHOUT_ knobs
to get arm snapshot builds working again.
Since the cc(1) binary is no longer expected to be clang(1),
remove the chroot(8) post-install cc(1) overwrite.

'svn co /usr/{src,doc,ports}' step in the chroot when the
tree exists from external means.
The use case here is that /usr/src, /usr/doc, and /usr/ports
in the chroot exist as result of zfs dataset clones, so it
is possible (and happens quite often) that the included
distributions may not be consistent. (This is not the case
for -RELEASE builds, but does happen for snapshot builds.)

When set to a non-empty value, the installation medium is
compressed with gzip(1) as part of the 'install' target in
the release/ directory.
With gzip(1) compression, downloadable image are reduced in
size quite significantly. Build test against head@263927
shows the following:
bootonly.iso: 64% smaller
disc1.iso: 44% smaller
memstick.img: 47% smaller
mini-memstick.img: 65% smaller
dvd1.iso: untested
This option is off by default, I would eventually like to
turn it on by default, and remove the '-k' flag to gzip(1)
so only compressed images are published on FTP.

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.
