what CSRG had, plus make things like, TYPE, REVISION, and BRANCH
easy to set, and derive RELEASE and VERSION from them.
Kill the JUST_TELL_ME hack, it is no longer needed.
Kill DISTNAME, I could find no reveference to it any place in the
source tree.
Now I just need to rework a few bits in release/Makefile, but want
to wait and talk to jkh about that.
Oh, and your now all running:
TYPE="FreeBSD"
REVISION="2.2"
BRANCH="CURRENT"
and the -BUILD-yymmdd is dead and gone. The date was already in the
version[] string, no need for it to be there in 2 formats!
We now have RELEASE=CURRENT in the CVS-tree.
If this hasn't been edited, we will use "BUILT-yyyymmdd" where the time is
that of the compile, and leave it at that, we can't do any better.
If there is no serious objections, I will modify the "cvs co" script on
freefall to fiddle this file after checkout so that it becomes
CURRENT-yyyymmdd, where the time is that of the checkout.
are running under. Here's how to bootstrap (order is important):
1) Re-compile gcc (just the driver is all you need).
2) Re-compile libc.
3) Re-compile your kernel. Reboot.
4) cd /usr/src/include; make install
You can now detect the compilation environment with the following code:
#if !defined(__FreeBSD__)
#define __FreeBSD_version 199401
#elif __FreeBSD__ == 1
#define __FreeBSD_version 199405
#else
#include <osreldate.h>
#endif
You can determine the run-time environment by calling the new C library
function getosreldate(), or by examining the MIB variable kern.osreldate.
For the time being, the release date is defined as 199409, which we have
already established as our target.
