There where two reasons for needing root access while making ARM builds. The
first reason was that we needed root permissions to create device nodes and
assign permissions to files. The second reason we needed root was that we used
loop mounted files to copy the build output to the file backed storage.
The first problem is solved by building in unprivileged mode (adding -U) during
compilation. The second problem is solved by using mcopy to put files on the
fat partition and use the mkfs.mfs proto files to create MFS file system.
Future work might be to replace this script by the netbsd makefs tool.

We used to load the memory driver above the other modules to allow
the memory driver (ramdisk) to grow. We no longer want or need this
this as we have a working mmc driver.
* Also cleanup a bit the makefile.
* Also removing small inconsistency for arm builds where log would be
skipped if doing a make hdboot, but not when cross-compiling.

Import the NetBSD rdate command and remove the Minix rdate command.
The default behaviour for both is the same. The NetBSD version adds
options to just display the time, adjust the time using adjtime(),
and set the time without printing the time.
Porting Notes:
- Compiles cleanly out of the box without any warnings
- Path changes from /usr/bin/rdate to /usr/sbin/rdate
- checked pkgsrc for any usages of rdate (none found)
- checked src for any usages of rdate (none found)
Testing:
- all command line options work (tested with time.nist.gov server)
- Native and cross build OK

pkgin now depends on pkg_install. If pkg_install appears after pkgin
in PREINSTALLED_PACKAGES, there will be an error because pkg_install
was installed as a dependency for pkgin.
* Use the same output directory as was previously the standard.
* Add copying of uEnv and cmdline to the obj directory to allow booting from tftp.
* No longer start qemu at the end of the process.
* Use sudo if the script was called as non root user.

To use the new SD building script, Linux has to be configured with
loop.max_part=15 on the command line (or set at module load time)
to make the loopback device see the partitions.
This commit removes a lot of differences between the ARM and x86
boot ramdisk and rc scripts. It changes the ARM build from running
from ramdisk to requiring a full filesystem on the SD image and
booting into it.
. ramdisk: remove some arm-only utilities only used for running
from the shell
. remove ARM-only rc.arm, proto.arm.small, ttys and mylogin.sh
boot-time ramdisk files
. change kernel to add "arch" variable so userland knows what
we're running on from sysenv
. make ARM use the regular ramdisk rc file, changed to distinguish
i386-only and ARM-only drivers; requires rootdevname to be set
. change /etc/rc and /usr/etc/rc to start i386-only drivers only on
i386 systems
. change the kernel/arm to have a special case for the memory
driver to load it higher so it can be bigger
. add uEnv.txt, cmdline.txt and a for now highly linux-dependent
SD preparation script arm_sdimage.sh to the git repository in
releasetools/

Due to the ABI we are using we have to use the earm architecture
moniker for the build system to behave correctly. This involves
then some headers to move around.
There is also a few related Makefile updates as well as minor
source code corrections.
Previously, under some circumstances, the make command could
yield netbsdsrc in other directories than the source directory,
as expected.
This patch fixes this behaviour, by first changing to the expected
directory, and only at the end going back to the original directory.
As the build system can now generate a full root file system,
there is no need to bootstrap the iso image by copying over
files from the currently system.
The SVN references have also been mostly taken out, as they are
not anymore valid. Some cleanup have been done to try to improve
the readability of the script.
Also fix a potential issue where host tools would be compiled
dynamically under MINIX.
This also updates proto.common.dynamic to use the new placement
of the dynamic libraries (/usr/lib)
* Remade patch so it works with minix patch tool.
* New MINIX tar support -ox, so revert back to it
In fetch scripts, tar had been replaced by bsdtar as the prebvious
tar did not support the -o flag under minix, which is required to
prevent usage of tar file stored user and group information.
This introduces portability problems. As our new tar tool now
support that flag revert back to improve portability.
upgrade to NetBSD CVS release from 2012/10/17 12:00:00 UTC
Makefiles updates to imporve portability
Made sure to be consistent in the usage of braces/parenthesis at
least on a per file basis. For variables, it is recommended to
continue to use braces.
The tested targets are the followgin ones:
* tools
* distribution
* sets
* release
The remaining NetBSD targets have not been disabled nor tested
*at all*. Try them at your own risk, they may reboot the earth.
For all compliant Makefiles, objects and generated files are put in
MAKEOBJDIR, which means you can now keep objects between two branch
switching. Same for DESTDIR, please refer to build.sh options.
Regarding new or modifications of Makefiles a few things:
* Read share/mk/bsd.README
* If you add a subdirectory, add a Makefile in it, and have it called
by the parent through the SUBDIR variable.
* Do not add arbitrary inclusion which crosses to another branch of
the hierarchy; If you can't do without it, put a comment on why.
If possible, do not use inclusion at all.
* Use as much as possible the infrastructure, it is here to make
life easier, do not fight it.
Sets and package are now used to track files.
We have one set called "minix", composed of one package called "minix-sys"
* Removing commands/tar
* Updated external/bsd/libarchive
* Adding external/bsd/libarchive/bin/tar compiled bsdtar instead
of just tar
* (tar is taken care of through the pax utility)

- add "edit" menu option, to edit menu commands before executing them;
- add "menu" boot command, to return to the menu from the prompt;
- provide more line editing features when getting input;
- fix a few potential buffer overflows as a side effect.
The upgrade of tic to v 1.19 fixes a memory corruptions that was
visible when cross building (specially when using long path
names in the output file argument).
as disk space typically isn't a concern when crosscompiling, but
convenience and ability to debug is, change the strip and gzip defaults
. do not strip or gzip the binaries when crosscompiling
this makes it faster to rebuild and restart a compiled system, with
debugging info if so desired.
This decreases external dependencies for crosscompilation. Note that
these libraries are not built nor used by Minix itself.
Furthermore, the shell scripts that download the tarballs for these
libraries, gcc, binutils, and gmake now also support curl in addition
to wget.
