On Thu, Jun 21, 2001 at 06:18:47PM +0200, Luigi Rizzo scribbled: | would you mind resubmitting a patch for the version of | "picobsd" i committed this morning, also keeping in mind the | following: | | * it would be better to define a variable, say MD, which holds | the string "vn" or "md", and is used in accessing the memory | device, so we have mostly the same script working on both current | and stable with just a one-line change. | | * you are recursively gzipping files in /etc now, so you should | also modify the mfs_tree/etc/rc script which decompresses things; | This might be annoying as gzip is unable to recurse in a | directory tree. | | * re. the CONFIG variable... it does not seem to give problem with | the version i committed this morning. I think there was a bug | in the previous commit, but now it should be ok. | | * i am not sure the way you handle arguments is correct, from your | patch it appears that you ignore THETYPE (first argument) if there | are not two arguments. This is wrong, the second argument is optional. I have more questions regarding this: * Do we want NO_SWAPPING on or off in PicoBSD? I understand that many PicoBSD devices do not have swapspace. However, my understand of -current is that we do require swapping to work well. * Do we want SOFTUPDATES? * Statically compiling device.hints seems to be awkward. Perhaps we should be using a customized /boot/device.hints. This way, many devices can be disabled or enabled easily without recompiling PicoBSD/xxxx version -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@iteration.net | keichii@freebsd.org | | http://iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
