/etc CHANGES:
- /etc/drivers.conf has been renamed to /etc/system.conf. Every entry in
the file is now marked as "service" rather than driver.
- user "service" has been added to password file /etc/passwd.
- docs/UPDATING updated accordingly, as well as every other mention to the old
drivers.conf in the system.
RS CHANGES:
- No more distinction between servers and drivers.
- RS_START has been renamed to RS_UP and the old legacy RS_UP and RS_UP_COPY
dropped.
- RS asks PCI to set / remove ACL entries only for services whose ACL properties
have been set. This change eliminates unnecessary warnings.
- Temporarily minimize the risk of potential races at boot time or when starting
a new service. Upcoming changes will eliminate races completely.
- General cleanup.
for each symbol, usually answering those "why is does my binary have
such a lot of BSS" questions.
- stop binpackage looking in /var/spool for package files.
- let makewhatis recognize .Sh as heading name
- setup, fsck, df: allow >4kB block sizes painlessly
- mkfs: new #-of-inodes heuristic that depends on kb, not
on blocks; i've run out of inodes on my /usr
- asmconv: don't silently truncate .aligns to 16 bytes
- ipc* commands for shared memory support
- Modified the setup script to use the netconf script for the network
configuration:
- Moved step 2 to step 8 and renamed the steps in between.
- Autopart adapted to print step 3 instead of step 4.
. include c1* nodes in std in MAKEDEV
. this requires a slightly larger shell
. this requires a larger blocksize on the boot ramdisk (to fit
/dev/ in direct blocks for mkfs with a proto file)
. also more inodes and kB's on the boot ramdisk
. replaced by a readclock 'driver' that runs once, a re-imported version
of the minix 2.0.4 readclock command.
. this has also restored cmos writing.
. readclock wrapper script calls service command to run /bin/readclock.drv
once.
very long time or forever retrieving the packages list. It's tricky to
test connectivity automatically, so ask every time. Reported by
