devfs_link.9: modified man page to reflect source code
devfs_add_devsw.9: replaced by devfs_add_devswf.9
devfs_add_devswf.9: proper function for adding devices to DEVFS
word: "zilch"). I guess the only way to get people try and comment on
these kind of things is to shove it down their throat.... ;)
Anyway, here's a set of changes required for auto-generation of READMEs
in ports directories. Necessary changes and additions of templates
to the ports tree will follow shortly.
Eventually I'll commit all the generated READMEs to the tree, but that
will be in the rather distant future. For now, I encourage anyone
with a -current systam and a matching ports tree to do a "make readmes"
at the top level and see what they get.
Next step will be to add pkg/{COMMENT,DESCR} to all the categories.
looks rather ugly.
Also slightly adopt the contents to the results of a discussion that
took place in -core some months ago. We couldn't agree on everything,
but some of the previous sentiments were rather outdated.
which has been in the tree for a much longer time.
Sorry for the multiple commits and I know I shouldn't be doing this but
my hamster tells me to be orthogonal...("hey Phoenix, do you think
I should call it LOCALBASE?" "squeak" "ok, if you say so").
counterpart to X11BASE (default "/usr/X11R6").
Now PREFIX is set to ${X11BASE} or ${LOCAL_PREFIX} depending on
whether USE_IMAKE or USE_X11 is set or not.
This enables us to refer to non-X ports from X ports using
${LOCAL_PREFIX}, thus removing most of the remaining "/usr/local"s
from the ports tree.
This will also allow the system administrator to move the whole
"local" tree to somewhere else, without affecting X ports. (Of course
not all ports are necessarily happy with that, but we're working on
it.)
Based on: an idea that came up while I was watching a football game
several months ago ("hey, maybe I can move that sideline
without disturbing the other!")
actually follow the links, and change references from DigiBoard
to Digi International (I'm currently working for Digi, and we were
just asked to do the same thing with everything we are working
on when possible, so I figured I might as well do the same under FreeBSD).
Fixed DPADD again.
mk/bsd.README
Don't list the LIBXXX identifiers here. Describe them better.
mk/bsd.prog.mk
Updated the list of LIBXXX identifiers.
- recently added library libdisk.a wasn't mentioned (required for sysinstall)
- old objects kz*.o weren't mentioned
- old libraries libc_pic.a, libcom_err.a, libf2c.a, libg++.a, libgcc_pic.a,
libgmp.a, libipx.a, libkeycap.a, libss.a and libxpg4.a weren't mentioned
- old libraries libgnumalloc.a and libftp.a no longer exist
- old library libmp.a was said to not exist
- deprecated links libfl.a and libln.a weren't mentioned
"foo", what this does is:
(1) Put all distfiles and patchfiles in /usr/ports/distfiles/foo
(2) Go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/foo when the
master site is down
When your port has a lot of dist/patchfiles, or has a file that does
not have a very port-specific name (e.g., "Makefile"), set this
variable instead of redefining DISTDIR. (If you redefine DISTDIR, (1)
will work but (2) will not.)
Agreed that it's a good idea by: adam
since I've no idea what the ISO standard for Italian keyboards is, but we
can always adjust it later and this is better than the nothing we had before.

port documentation (which can be things like postscript manuals
describing every single of the 65,536 options) from being installed
into ${PREFIX}/share/doc.
(Sorry Jordan, but your other idea (${CATEGORIES}) was a major hit.)
Also remove the keyword field in the INDEX line and replace it with
two columns: build-time dependencies and run-time dependencies. They
are both list of package names (minus the ".tgz").
(1) people can have weird paths and it will still work, and
(2) if you really need to use /usr/local/bin/cp instead of /bin/cp,
you can do that by changing only one line.

Ideally, this should go into the ``mail'' section of the handbook, but
i don't have the time to write all of this right now, so i've put it
into the FAQ.
so that the developer section isn't garbaged up.
Suggestion: anytime you mess with the handbook, build it
and actually look at the result with your favorite browser, since
a one character typo can mess up the whole thing.
so it looks just a little more professional (and helps me figure out
when/if someone's already been added!).
Add Wolfram Schneider to list of developers.
Update latest changes from avail.
1. Import UART technical description from Frank Durda IV
<uhclem@nemesis.lonestar.org>.
2. Push existing sio chapter out of hw.sgml and make a separate
document out of it.
3. Make hw.sgml include the first two under serial devices section.
