branches: 1.4.32;
- define COMMON as "${.CURDIR}/../common", and use appropriately
- remove .PATH: ${.CURDIR}/../common
- update the various MERGED_SRCS lines to reflect reality

branches: 1.3.2;
Use bsd.man.mk (maybe should be something else) instead of bsd.prog.mk, and
do the cleaning differently.

Update dependancies to include common/sysinst and common/upgrade
(where appropriate).

Makefiles for notes.

Various style fixes (and some of VAX related errors and copy&pastos),
from Mouse on tech-install.

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.

Pass the set suffix (either .tgz or .tar.xz) from the makefile.
Document the rescue set.

Fix a typo

Document debug sets and kernel module directory.

- update upgrade issues:

+ 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

branches: 1.10.24;
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...

migrate */contents -> common/contents, as there was *way* too much
unnecessary duplication. wrap the MD stuff in .if r_foo \{\ ... .\}

We ship XFree 3.3.6 these days, not 3.3.3.1.

Remove paragraph about secr set.

branches: 1.6.8;
* 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

Remove these before someone changes them. There is a common contents file
in distrib/notes/common/contents, conditionalized for the differences
between platform distributions.

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.

Make the port-specific changelog ($MACHINE/whatis) optional by using .pso

useful and hasn't been updated for years. OK tsutsui@, hubertf@.
