I have revised my /sys/Makefile, & am looking for alpha testers
So .. big deal .. tiddly little make file Eh ? .... We...ll not exactly
19377 Mar 13 18:24 Makefile (Yup, considerable comment in, as still in test)
2052 Mar 13 14:50 Makefile_sub.c
Plus I have associated diffs to apply to Makefile.i386 etc ...
Why did I bother & Why should you ? ...
# FEATURES:
# - Kernel configuration & make, defaulting to a kernel config name
# automatically selected on a host name basis; (also does subdir make).
# - Supports optional obj tree.
# - Supports compilation from cd-rom.
# - Supports NFS multiple host parallel simultaneous use of
# shared /usr/src.
# - Config automatically called if configuration name changes.
# - Depend done automatically.
# - Overide of default config name by either "make CONFIG=whatever"
# or by editing default file.
# - Config Selection precedence order & examples:
# PRIORITY METHOD
# High: make CONFIG=GENERICAH
# Medium: echo "GENERICAH" > ${DEFAULT_CONFIG}
# Low: Makefile internally does CONFIG=`hostname`
BTW, it's taken a hell of a long time to get it this far, so I'm in bug fix
mode now, till it's commited, so wo'nt welcome suggestions changing priority
order (it ain't easy ;-), after it's proven bug free & commited, it becomes
subject to the normal `whoever is prepared to hack it And test it' change
procedure (testing all cases is the hard part)
Volunteer Testers Requested :-) (Piero &/or Rod perhaps ?)
