bah. this time without a typo.
 1.3.32.1 05-Oct-2008  mjf Sync with HEAD.
 1.13 24-Mar-2024  martin Various style fixes (and some of VAX related errors and copy&pastos),
from Mouse on tech-install.
 1.12 07-Aug-2020  snj branches: 1.12.6;
s/developement/development/
 1.11 23-Jun-2020  martin Pass the name of the compressor actually used for sets to groff and use
it in the content description (XXX need to adapt a few more copies in,
as of now, unaffected architectures)
 1.10 22-Jun-2020  maya Mention that USE_XZ_SETS are either always xzipped, and in evbarm might
be xzipped or gzipped.
 1.9 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.
 1.8 21-Nov-2019  martin Pass the set suffix (either .tgz or .tar.xz) from the makefile.
Document the rescue set.
 1.7 24-Jun-2018  leot branches: 1.7.2; 1.7.4;
Fix a typo
 1.6 24-Jun-2018  martin Document debug sets and kernel module directory.

 1.4 28-May-2011  tsutsui branches: 1.4.24;
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...
 1.3 10-Oct-2000  lukem migrate */contents -> common/contents, as there was *way* too much
unnecessary duplication. wrap the MD stuff in .if r_foo \{\ ... .\}
 1.2 17-Sep-2000  mrg finish porting these from the sparc versions. they are mostly correct
now though the install instructions could still do with some more work
and expansion....
 1.1 19-Aug-2000  mrg branches: 1.1.2;
initial sparc64 install notes; still needs major editing to remove sparc-specific
crap and add ultrasparc specific crap.
 1.1.2.3 19-Sep-2000  mrg pull up 1.2 (approved by thorpej):

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.

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

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.

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
