I would like to add this as a new command to FreeBSD. I mentioned it a
few months back when I originally wrote it, and received positive
responses about it. This command derives from a similar command in
Digital Unix. 'doconfig' is basically a simplifier for kernel compiling,
by wrapping 'vi /sys/i386/conf/MINE; config; cd ../../compile/MINE; make
depend; make; make install; reboot' or whatnot into a simpler, nicer
interface.. For instance, I just recompiled my kernel with (the GLACIER
config file already existed):
----------------------------------------------------------------
% doconfig -r -c GLACIER
Remove existing kernel log /sys/i386/conf/kernelbuild.log? [yes] y
Removing old directory ../../compile/GLACIER: Done.
Kernel build directory is ../../compile/GLACIER

A backup kernel already exists, rename to /kernel.29-Jul-1997? [yes] yes

*** Ready to reboot. If the system is unable to bootup, you can type:
***
*** /kernel.old
***
*** At the 'Boot:' prompt, to boot from the old kernel.

[Press ENTER to Reboot]
----------------------------------------------------------------
This program is a PERL program, and has a few places where I would like to
expand it in the future (for instance, I've heard rumors about a
auto-kernel-config-file-generation program, so for now I just run a few
seds and whatnot on the GENERIC template, when generating a new config
file--this could instead hook into the auto-generation one).
I would like to add:
/usr/sbin/doconfig
/usr/share/man/man8/doconfig.8.gz
Comments, questions? The manpage is attached.
