hopefully become a portable driver usable by all architectures. The api
support files have had to be copied to sys/alpha/include since userland
programs expect to find them in <machine/*.h>.
All the revision history of the i386 syscons has been retained by a
repository copy.
managed to avoid corruption of this variable by luck (the compiler used a
memory read-modify-write instruction which wasn't interruptable) but other
architectures cannot.
With this change, I am now able to 'make buildworld' on the alpha (sfx: the
crowd goes wild...)
Fixed nearby bugs (in linux_alarm()):
- the itimer for the alarm was relative to the epoch instead of relative
to the boot time. This was harmless because the itimer's interval is 0.
- the seconds arg was not checked for validity before converting it to a
possibly different value.
- printf format errors.
Improvements:
Don't use splclock(). splsoftclock() suffices. Don't complicate things
by micro-optimizing interrupt latency.
Minor improvements:
Various micro-optimizations to exploit the specialness of the alarm itimer
and the value 0.
means (change PREFIX to ${X11BASE}) and add a new variable USE_X11
which means "this port requires the X window system (actually the
library)". USE_X_PREFIX implies USE_X11. USE_X11 adds a
LIB_DEPENDS to libX11 with the x11/XFree86 port.

(2) Remove NO_CONFIGURE and NO_PATCH, which never meant anything.

(3) Add new variable OSREL, which is automatically set to the
numeric OS version (e.g., 2.2.1, 3.0). It can be used to refer to
files in gcc installations, for instance.
(4) Finally remove EXEC_DEPENDS hack after all these years.

(5) Put quotes around some echo ${*_DEPENDS} statements so they won't
blow up when the variables include regular expressions like
"qt\\.1\\.\\\(33\\\|40\\\):${PORTSDIR}/x11/qt140".
consider it a exit failure if it doesn't work. This means that root
processes can safely get the lock, but normal processes can still use
the 'pw' utility to get information (which may change out from under
them.)
from PR/6787, but allow non-root users to use pw to get password
information. However, this should be safe since the fixes for
disallowing multiple instances from modifying the DB are still intact.
Bug noted by: dima@best.net (Dima Ruban)
for building and installing a local sendmail.cf..
I'm a little nervous about the implications of having an obj dir built
under etc (to get to the obj dir for sendmail), but the make rules appear
to DTRT.
This needs to be revisited - we need a simple way of building/installing
these at runtime from the installed system's /etc/mail directory.
freebsd.mc,v and freefall.mc,v have been repository copied here.
in the behavior via the previously default #define DONT_FSYNC, use the
-s flag to turn the fsync() behavior on. This can be configured in
sendmail.cf without recompiling mail.local.
