. add bsd-style MLINKS to minix man set, restoring aliases
(e.g. man add64 -> int64)
. update daily cron script to run makewhatis and restore makewhatis
in man Makefile (makedb), restores functionality of man -k
. netbsd imports of man, mdocml, makewhatis, libutil, apropos
. update man.conf with manpage locations, restoring man [-s] <section>
. throws out some obsolete manpages
. move cache size heuristic from mfs there
so mfs and ext2 can share it
. add vfs credentials retrieving function, with
backwards compatability from previous struct
format, to be used by both ext2 and mfs
. fix for ext2 - STATICINIT was fed no.
of bytes instead of no. of elements, overallocating
memory by a megabyte or two for the superblock
. default jemalloc is not too easy to compile without threads
libraries/types
. non-default malloc has odd virtual address space binge problem
. switch to ack/minix malloc in old libc for now
. ipc wants to know about processes that get
signals, so that it can break blocking ipc operations
. doing it for every single signal is wasteful
and causes the annoying 'no slot for signals' message
. this fix tells vm on a per-process basis it (ipc)
wants to be notified, i.e. only when it does any ipc calls
. move ipc config to separate config file while we're at it

. don't install minix <termcap.h> as libterminfo
has its own (but still install it in /usr/include.ack)
. forget minix termcap functions in -lcompat_minix
. make commands use -lterminfo in netbsd libc compile mode
Improves cache locality by grouping together dependency generation
with building for each program instead of doing a whole-tree dep
generation phase followed by a whole-tree build phase
. it's a good extra interface to have but doesn't
meet standardised functionality
. applications (in pkgsrc) find it and expect
full functionality the minix mmap doesn't offter
. on the whole probably better to hide these functions
(mmap and friends) until they are grown up; the base system
can use the new minix_* names
. strerror() assumes this
. remove generated libminc/errlist.c
. errno's in <sys/errno.h> have to be in sorted order
. filtering out some errno.h in Makefile lets us use near-stock
errlist.awk
* VFS and installed MFSes must be in sync before and after this change *
Use struct stat from NetBSD. It requires adding new STAT, FSTAT and LSTAT
syscalls. Libc modification is both backward and forward compatible.
Also new struct stat uses modern field sizes to avoid ABI
incompatibility, when we update uid_t, gid_t and company.
Exceptions are ino_t and off_t in old libc (though paddings added).
Now users can choose between libsys, libsys + libminc and
libsys + libc. E.g. PUFFS/FUSE servers need libsys + libc while
old servers can use libsys + libminc.
