Kernels and system services are stored in a single directory in the
/boot/minix/ and rotated like /boot/images. /boot/minix_latest slink
is created automatically.
System serives are prefixed by "modNN_" to allow to easily load them
using "mod*" pattern.
Also following functionality was added:
- Add install_master to the installboot from NetBSD.
- Check if enough space for bootxx.
Old installboot was renamed to installboot_minix.
. detect both formats in /etc/rc
. generate new format in setup
. obsoletes /etc/fstab.local: everything can go in /etc/fstab
. put shutdown/reboot/halt and a copy of /usr/adm/wtmp
(/etc/wtmp) on root FS so that we can do shutdown checks before
mounting /usr
. new fstab format makes getfsent() and friends work
. 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
. speeds up mkdep (i.e. world builds) significantly
. have to keep minix /bin/sed for a while because previous
usr/etc/rc depends on it
. force mkdep to use /usr/bin/sed for speedup
. Feature to do a 'release' into a permanent
and usable FS hierarchy, usable with chroot
. Just like the temporary staging hierarchy really
. Useful to checking out and building the latest
version of minix from a host minix; to
(1) make an uptodate minix jail, and
(2) make a sterile, reproducible jail environment, and
(3) use as disposable environment in which moving /usr/pkg
is ok
(i.e. pkgsrc bulk builds)
