is missing or the aliases text file is newer than aliases.db.
In my opinion, the aliases file should never be automatically rebuilt.
The current text form could represent a work in progress. Therefore,
in FreeBSD 7.0, this new option will default to "NO". When this rc.d
change is MFC'ed, it will need to remain "YES" to maintain backward
compatibility.

now contained entirely in a single DocBook article, which has
information pertinent to all architectures. This will improve
the maintainability of the hardware notes going forward by
reducing complexity of the build process, improving the visibiilty

an extra version of the document for every architecture.
Remove all of the MD hardware notes stuff; all relevant content

manner consistent with the new MI-style hardware notes document.
man2hwnotes.pl now defaults to generating entities for the MI-style
hardware notes (i.e. hardware/article.sgml). A new -c
option causes it to generate entities for the older MD-style
hardware notes (i.e. hardware/common/dev.sgml).
The Makefile infrastructure supplies the -c option to man2hwnotes.pl
now unless the HWNOTES_MI Makefile variable is defined, so
compatiblity is preserved for hardware notes translations that
aren't converted to the new organization yet. As translations
convert, they should define HWNOTES_MI in their hardware/Makefile.
When all the relevant translations catch up, the compatibility goop
in share/mk/doc.relnotes.mk and share/sgml/Makefile can be removed.

mechanism.

Convert MD references in the supported devices section from arch=""

Rather than rendering a different version of the release notes for
every architecture, we now produce a single release notes document
that covers all architectures.
This change makes document maintenence easier (because there is no
longer a need to support each architecture specifically in the
src/release/doc/ and www/ build infrastructures). It's also
easier to read because there is now exactly one release notes document,
and readers can see changes that affected various subsets of
architectures.

at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels:
o remove kernel from the base tarball
o add new kernel tarballs
o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP
config file is present
o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels
o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system
and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly
o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel
o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic
Notes:
1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels
include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the
GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable
WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile.
2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means
some systems will require work for auto-detection to work.
3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now
we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise
GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches.
