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.
