notes document. Basically, I've moved the contents of common/
{artheader,intro,upgrading}.sgml into common/new.sgml, removed duplicate
$FreeBSD$ markers, and adjusted the various references to these files.
No other whitespace or content changes.
This change will make it easier to do some minor restructuring.

in crunch.conf -- the previous choice, CWD, was too subject to false
matches (this string will be replaced by the absolute pathname
during the build process).
From the user's perspective:
* everything is now built outside the source tree (more precisely,
in `pwd`/builddir-${name}/ ) except for the kernel config file(s)
which still need to be copied into src/sys/i386/conf because of
"config" limitations. I am not sure if there is an easy way
to get away from this without changing "config" or replicating
some part of the source tree.
This is really the only change that most users should worry about,
but it is a good one.
* if you do cross-compiles (using "picobsd --src somedir/src [--init] ... ")
then the libraries and include directories etc. are searched/created
in "somedir/usr" ;
* you can do most things (basically build the kernel and the crunched
binary and the filesystem trees) without root privileges. You need
privileges to use mdconfig/vnconfig to create the actual MFS and
floppy image, unfortunately.
* the -v option now prints some diagnostic but does not stop for
user input at each step. You need to specify -v -v to have the
old behaviour.
Internally, the script has been reshuffled quite a bit to support
the above features. Many shell variables have been renamed or
made local in an effort to avoid undesired side effects. There is
a somewhat better error handling in case something goes wrong.
tree. Unfortunately the latter cannot be completely readonly, because
"config" still depends on the kernel config file being in sys/${ARCH}/conf
(it seems to derive other pathnames from that one).

protocol section to NICs section for consistency (tap(4) release notes
were combined).
before parsing the command line.
Move code to build include and libraries in a separate function,
so we can use the verbose flag for that.
Chang ownership of some directories so more of the build process
(namely, builds of include and libs) can be run without root
permission (we still depend on root permission to mount a memory
filesystem).

not the readme. The installation document is the one that has the

as well. This works by selecting "md" or "vn" depending on "uname -r"

Also included minor bugfixes and code cleanup.
Testers welcome, as this code has only been tested on -STABLE
(and for this reason I am doing an immediate MFC).
move the ID string from a pubdate element into a comment on the

that the ID string to actually be rendered in the output.
solves a pretty annoying problem, this release notes entry doesn't
describe what this fixes because I can't seem to figure out how to do
this without giving a lot of background.
net/cvsupd-bin. Also note CVSup update to fix S1G bug.
I'm breaking a self-imposed rule of not mentioning ports-collection
updates in release notes. I'm only doing this because CVSup is a
fairly essential part of the FreeBSD Project infrastructure. Save
for exceptions such as this, the release notes will continue to
document changes to the base system only.

so as to make the "picobsd" script less version-specific.
Improve handling of cross-builds (which requires creation of
includes and libraries for the new source tree).
The "picobsd" script will not probably work on -current because it still
uses 'vn' instead of 'md', but i am commiting it anyways to keep it
in sync with the version in -stable.
DESTDIR. This avoids redundant information in the path when DOCDIR
points to some directory that already implies (or specifies) a certain
language. This is the case with the web site, where the release notes
are already installed under a language-specific directory. This
behavior is not being made mandatory because it might still be useful
to install all the translations in one directory, such as during
testing, or in a hypothetical release notes archive. Furthermore, it
is not being made the default because that breaks consistency with
stuff under doc/.

I guess I pooched the permissions on the scripts before committing them
since they're not executable and now it's too late to change (I think -
I suppose you could chmod the ,v files and it might inheirit but I don't
feel like asking the repomeisters to try that).
