More cleanup:
- simplify TOC handling and remove arg limit (from uwe)
- use Lk with explicit anchor text in some places
- do not allow official release builds when we can not derive the
proper date from the buildid
 1.109  24-Nov-2019  martin Modernize release notes:
- use https where possible
- adapt to cdn/nycdn and our current auto-build conventions
- automate where possible
Many thanks to uwe for lots of *roff help.
 1.108  21-Nov-2019  martin Pass the set suffix (either .tgz or .tar.xz) from the makefile.

minimums lingering -- HI PORTMASTERS!)
- various other minor content modernization
- whitespace fixes
 1.105  09-May-2015  snj first pass de-suckification for 2015. modernize content a bit, fix dirty
rotten lies, improve wording, sync legalese with reality, yada yada yada.
 1.104  31-Mar-2014  martin branches: 1.104.4;
Bring back the playstation2 port - now that a toolchain for it is
available again.
 1.103  24-Feb-2014  skrll Rename NetBSD/hp700 to NetBSD/hppa.

Unfortunately our VCS isn't very helpful here.
 1.102  17-Aug-2012  riz branches: 1.102.2;
More MI release notes updates, particularly around installing.

This could use more love!
 1.101  27-May-2011  tsutsui branches: 1.101.4; 1.101.6;
- fix mdoc warning
 1.100  05-Dec-2009  pooka Remove support for NetBSD/playstation2.
 1.99  23-Aug-2009  snj Kill an incorrect bit of text about creating device nodes that had been hiding
under a macppc conditional. Update for today's progress bar world.
 1.98  25-Apr-2009  snj Yet another round of INSTALL fixes.
 1.97  25-Apr-2009  snj Another round of INSTALL improvements big and small.

Use `\*[Am]' rather than `\*&' for ampersand.
 1.94  14-Sep-2008  tsutsui Use proper .Pq macro to restore parentheses removed by my wrong fix
in rev 1.90.
 1.93  13-Sep-2008  tsutsui First cut at INSTALL notes for NetBSD/arc.
Finally we could close another ancient PR port-arc/11443.

After several years, we got the native bootloader and then had
sysinst which would do apprpriate partitioning for the bootloader,
so I've noted the last difficult part, how to specify boot commands
on the ARC BIOS.

I still wonder how many possible users of NetBSD/arc are there
who will need this topic though... ;-p
 1.92  06-Sep-2008  tsutsui Use \*[Gt].
 1.91  06-Sep-2008  tsutsui Fix a warning in macppc part.
 1.90  06-Sep-2008  tsutsui ".Po" and ".Pc" macro seems to cause the following warnings:
>> ../common/sysinst:1657: warning: macro `doc-pcresult' not defined

Use only ".Sy" for set names as common/contents and common/main.

XXX amiga/install, macppc/hardware, and sparc/prep still have them.

- newsmips now requires two floppies
 1.80  28-Sep-2007  tsutsui First cut at NetBSD/ews4800mips install notes. Not well confirmed.
(I guess very few people will actually require it...)

PR install/35528 from Wouter Schoot: fix typo in install docs
 1.78  04-Jan-2007  wiz From dieter roelants in PR 35169:
- While reading install/12957 it was suggested
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-i386/2006/11/27/0000.html)
that all notes, marked with '[PCMCIA]' should go and be
replaced with a more generic explanation about removable
devices.
- I noticed the HTML output concatenates 'NetBSD' and '4.0',
which is ugly.
- The IP addresses for ftp.NetBSD.org are wrong.
 1.77  25-Nov-2006  mishka branches: 1.77.2;
PR/13749 - Incorrect options specified for dd(1) in tape installs.

Cleanup dd options accordingly to the following policy:
1) put if, of, bs, conv in this order
2) for reading/writing from/to disk don't use sync
4) reading from tape - use sync
3) writing to tape - use osync

Noted by Don Yuniskis (auryn at gci-net.com) via install/13749. Thanks!

Clarified a few details about installing 32 bit sparc distribution on
sparc64 systems.
 1.72  23-Aug-2004  wiz There is no "It-span" macro, replace with "It"; size column correctly

dot, not two or none.
 1.71  21-Aug-2004  snj Fix some typos.
 1.70  21-Aug-2004  hubertf * Mention language selection

* Default disklabel name doesn't seem to be "mydisk" any longer
(judging by this week's installation of 2.0_BETA/i386)

and GENERICSBC.

state of reality: comment out O2 references since 1.6 won't support the

 1.21  16-Apr-2001  mbw By popular demand.

I've organized the topics by Open Firmware version, since many users found
the old scheme way too confusing (clause out Open Firmware version-specific
content).

It's still really confusing to read (particularly the .txt version which
doesn't adequately distinguish headings from the body)

Also added a bit more info on partitioning vs. OF version.

Remove reference to a 14 year old IP address for ftp.NetBSD.org.
This is not a joke.
--
mention etcupdate and reorder a bit
--
first pass de-suckification for 2015. modernize content a bit, fix dirty
rotten lies, improve wording, sync legalese with reality, yada yada yada.
--
This product includes software developed by Yasushi Yamasaki.
--
- update upgrade issues:
+ ARM ABI change
+ new users
+ new groups
- add modules set where missing
- formatting improvements
- note that rtsol{,d} will be gone in the future
- fix raw partition info
- update sparc64 hardware support
- remove note about sparc SMP support being broken
- update some size requirements (still lots of ancient bogus RAM
minimums lingering -- HI PORTMASTERS!)
- various other minor content modernization
- whitespace fixes
--
finish removing the set size stuff, which was thrown out four years ago.
--
merge port-specific legal sections into the common file. most of these
entries were already in the common file, and it's a pain to maintain
them separately.
--
don't look for now-gone sparc/legal
--
restore rcsid accidentally deleted in previous
--
bah. this time without a typo.

distrib/notes/common/list-portmasters.pl: file removal
Remove list-portmasters.pl script.
We dropped that list from "main" some time ago.
Quote long .Ss2 title to avoid troff's limitation.
Troff is limited to 9 macro parameters and this title is 10 words, so
we lose the last word here when we pass arguments around. We have
more titles like that but for now I wanted to commit only one just to
flag the problem.
More cleanup:
- simplify TOC handling and remove arg limit (from uwe)
- use Lk with explicit anchor text in some places
- do not allow official release builds when we can not derive the
proper date from the buildid
Add "Oxford comma"
Improve heading a bit. While here, use quotes to group some of the
words to avoid the 9-arg limitation of .Ss

Various style fixes (and some of VAX related errors and copy&pastos),
from Mouse on tech-install.
Use single-arg "Lk" macro for a link so we can get reasonable results
both in .more and .html output (still a bit odd, but better than before IMHO).
