and instead generate them each and every time (twice!).

 1.36 24-Mar-2024  martin Various style fixes (and some of VAX related errors and copy&pastos),
from Mouse on tech-install.
 1.35 25-Sep-2021  maya branches: 1.35.2;
Move DRM-driver firmware from base to its own set, gpufw

This set is only installed on amd64,i386,evbarm.
This set is installed on minimal installs and on install media, in
case someone needs it for basic driver functionality.

Comments:
Switched to a single MK tunable for it - that is probably unneeded.

An upcoming DRM update will include even fatter firmware, and we'd
like to minimize the impact of it.
 1.34 07-Aug-2020  snj s/developement/development/
 1.33 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.
 1.32 21-Nov-2019  martin Pass the set suffix (either .tgz or .tar.xz) from the makefile.
Document the rescue set.
 1.31 24-Jun-2018  leot branches: 1.31.2; 1.31.4;
Fix a typo
 1.30 24-Jun-2018  martin Document debug sets and kernel module directory.
 1.29 19-May-2015  snj branches: 1.29.8; 1.29.14;
- 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
 1.28 07-Mar-2015  mrg remove vga@isa and pcdisplay@isa from i386 GENERIC, and create a new
LEGACY kernel that includes them instead. now radeon@pci is able to
properly claim wsdisplay0 on i386 systems, and radeondrmkms has a good
chance of working.

this "fixes" PR#49290.
 1.27 17-Aug-2012  riz branches: 1.27.12;
Add a description of the 'modules' set for all arches which have
MODULAR somewhere in the configs.
 1.26 28-May-2011  tsutsui branches: 1.26.4; 1.26.6;
Move common/contents file into MD dirs again.
I know it isn't a good thing to have many copy-and-pasted contents
(set file descriptions etc) in all MD files, but it's much more annoying
to maintain a bunch of .if \n [${MACHINE}] conditionals for all ports
and maintainers rarely notice that they also have to prepare or update
MD contents in MI content file with messy ifdefs.

XXX: of course common text should be shared by mdoc macro etc.
but I doubt playing mdoc(7) is really worth...
 1.25 10-Oct-2000  lukem migrate */contents -> common/contents, as there was *way* too much
unnecessary duplication. wrap the MD stuff in .if r_foo \{\ ... .\}
 1.24 04-Oct-2000  lukem update copyright date
 1.23 08-Aug-2000  hubertf We ship XFree 3.3.6 these days, not 3.3.3.1.
 1.22 07-Aug-2000  hubertf Remove paragraph about secr set.
 1.21 24-May-1999  ross branches: 1.21.8;
Delete maze of twisty little conditionals. 6 down, 11 to go.
 1.20 24-May-1999  ross * Delete sun3x from SUBDIR
* The merged contents file didn't work out, so nuke it and put it back
into each port directory. Most still have the now-pointless conditionals;
these now should be deleted.
* fix alpha, amiga, and arm32 to delete the maze of twisty little conditionals
 1.19 19-Mar-1999  ross Remove this before someone changes it. There is a common contents file
in distrib/notes/common/contents, conditionalized for the differences
between platform distributions.
 1.18 18-Mar-1999  perry update X11 dist. information
 1.17 25-Jan-1999  garbled 1) Remove all vestiges of tar from src/distrib. Use pax and appropriate
commandlines for all tar operations. (work supplied by Matt Green)
2) Update arch/*/md.c to deal with new sysinst/run.c. Special case
anything that needs to do a redirect or a pipe.
3) #if 0 some unused code in target.c. This code will need to be updated,
or special cased with do_system.

Big thank you to Matt for all his work on this.
 1.16 28-Jan-1998  is We don't ship with a FORTRAN compiler... point this out (the old text was
misguiding).
We do ship, however, with an Objective C compiler.
 1.15 09-Jan-1998  perry RCS Id Police.
 1.14 24-Dec-1997  perry fix numerous typos, from Brian Baird <brb@brig.com>

 1.10 20-Oct-1997  perry branches: 1.10.2;
Update for 1.3 alpha -- still needs some work.
 1.9 18-Sep-1997  mycroft Reword the `domestic' items a bit so they do not state an explicit legal
opinion regarding ITAR/EAR.
 1.8 17-Jun-1997  mikel use _VER for NetBSD version; note that fileset names must still be
updated by hand.
 1.7 14-Jun-1997  perry update for 1.2G
 1.6 25-Mar-1997  perry describe "kern" set.
 1.5 25-Mar-1997  perry Partial upgrade of document to describe the interim SSTO floppies. I

 1.104.2.1 10-Jun-2002  tv Pull up revision 1.105 (requested by 128 in ticket #0):
- mask IE_UpdateStats interrupt: the driver fails to clear the interrupt
and enter an interrupt loop (it may be a chip bug, I didn't have the time
to investigate yet) if it attemps to transmit some packets while the link
is down (like unplug/replug the cable, ifconfig down/ifconfig up or after a
transmit underrun condition, see below)
- bump the default transmit threshold to 1504 to avoid transmit underruns.
The driver resets the chip after a transmit underrun condition, which
makes the link go down for several seconds, which is unacceptable for
a server usage (after bootup you'll get 10s of underruns before the
threshold is high enouth and things stabilize, which means the link is
almost unusable for minutes)
- update documentation to mention the quad-port DFE580TX, and mention the
driver in notes.

Update release notes.
 1.22.28.1 05-Oct-2008  mjf Sync with HEAD.
 1.22.6.1 13-Nov-2005  tron Remove section about NetBSD-i386 switching from a.out to ELF. That
happened a long time ago.
 1.24 29-Oct-2008  tsutsui - remove rarely maintained whatis files
- wipe out changes lists for 4.0 (newer ones might be pulled from doc/CHANGES)
- list some updated 3rd party programs
 1.23 30-Apr-2008  ad For PR kern/38537:

- Make MULTIPROCESSOR mandatory on i386.

Installation changes:

- Update installation section of release notes to match reality.
- Rename INSTALL to INSTALL_FLOPPY, retire INSTALL_LARGE.
- Build INSTALL kernel from GENERIC, like on amd64.
- Update boot menu to allow disabling ACPI and/or SMP.
- Remove GENERIC.NOACPI from the installed kernel list.
- TODO: install default boot.cfg in etc.tgz.
- TODO: possibly enable PCI fixup stuff at runtime if ACPI is disabled.

Build changes:

- No longer build ALL, it's for verification, is slow to build and the
build process is already crippled by the number of kernels built.
- No longer build GENERIC.NOACPI.

 1.21 26-May-2007  bouyer branches: 1.21.4;
Add infos about ACPI (now enabled by default) and cdrom images.
 1.20 05-May-2007  pavel Clear the old list of changes (between NetBSD 2.0 and 3.0 releases) as a
preparation for filling the list of changes between NetBSD 3.0 and 4.0
releases. In some obsolete claims like "this is the n-th major releae of
NetBSD for the xyz platform" replace n by XXX.
 1.19 30-Oct-2006  hubertf branches: 1.19.2; 1.19.4;
* Clarify that the xfont set is only needed by the X server
* simplify commands to extracts sets & pkgsrc
* add spaces around \(em - why this isn't rendered as &mdash; is far
beyond me, can someone with *roff fu have a look?

Inspired by posting by James K. Lowden on netbsd-docs.

XXX the hardware list needs real work. :(
 1.18 08-Nov-2005  tron It will be the twelfth release of course.

 1.14 13-Nov-2000  hubertf Several changes to our release notes, OK'd by Luke Mewburn:

* mention additional kernels in binary/kernel/ dir: GENERIC_LAPTOP, etc
* note that we also include firewall software (besides X, ...)
* don't Xref the BUGS file, as it's gone
* update some file sizes (source .tgz files) to match BETA2
* mention that syssrc contains the source for all architectures
* Sysinst now allows setting root password and timezone - note that.
* Explain how to actually install binary packages, giving some
examples that people may want to install.
* Mention rawrite32 near rawrite.
* Don't show preparation of install tape on i386
* update i386 hardware a bit. This needs to be generated automatically...
* Many minor nits & typos.
