I found a few things that need looking into:
1. Missing files under;
./tools/dumpnlist/dumpnlist.c
./tools/write_mfs_in_kernel/write_mfs_in_kernel.c
./isp/crunch1/mibs is empty ?
./router/crunch1/mibs is empty, not used, should be removed.
./tinyware/kget/uc_scsi.c has been removed ?
./tinyware/dm is empty ?
./doc/src files should be under ./doc instead ?
2. Problem:
build fails due to ./tinyware/ns/Makefile
having the CFLAGS+=-DBRIDGING defined by default.
I think we should have this commented out by default.
I love the new custom build option. It saves me time having to edit
build all the time. But there are a few ruff edges.
3. Problem:
./build/clean removes the custom link before cleaning it.
4. Suggestions:
- should have a note to change custom/conf/Makefile to read
CONFILE=PICOBSD-C.${SIZE}
^^^
- have build use the last CUST_DIR unless told to change it to
a new directory path. (ie. don't unlink custom in clean)
- instead of having to run clean manually, have build call it
automatically before starting the build if it has not been
already cleaned.
- have clean mv picobsd.bin to picobsd.bin.previous, instead of
deleting it. And add an option to install to install previous
version picobsd.bin.previous.
