Consistently use ${RELEASEDIR}/${RELEASEMACHINE} instead of
${RELEASEDIR}/${MACHINE} (Paul Ripke)

branches: 1.26.40;
Use ${_MKTARGET_LINK} and ${_MKTARGET_CREATE}

branches: 1.25.142;
Install release files under "${RELEASEDIR}/${MACHINE}/..." instead of
"${RELEASEDIR}/...".

${RELEASEDIR} is never cleaned , and ${RELEASEDIR}/${MACHINE} is only
cleaned if UPDATE is not defined.

objcopy -> ${OBJCOPY}; remove redundant definitions of OBJCOPY?= (it is
now in bsd.own.mk).

Add Makefile snippets to install netboot in installation/netboot
under ``make release''.

branches: 1.22.2;
switch to sys/conf/newvers_stand.sh for generation of version files
move the vers.c depend/build goo to Makefile.bootprogs and remove
explicit rules in other Makefiles
sync the message in */version files with other ports using newvers_stand.sh

XXX the new depend rules were tested to limited extend (also with obj dirs)
XXX on i386 and should be ok; the changes should not otherwise influence build

Nuke the alpha ecoff/elf bootloader and use the libsa/ one instead.

branches: 1.20.2;
now that boot.c does the bootstrap name with a -D, the newvers scripts
are all the same, so eliminate the redundancy. also, use mrg's
"Version:" trick to find the version rather than using the RCS ID.
(I must have been having a ... bad day.) Also, bump boot and netboot
versions for all the changes that have been happening lately.

don't get the name from newvers, get it from a bootstrap-specific -D
in the Makefile. also, print the banner before we do things that
might cause us to print error messages.

update for booted_dev and disk->blkdev changes.

unrevert the changes made last night, now that 'installboot' has
had a few bugs fixed that let the problem slip in, and since bootxx's
Makefile now goes out of its way to satisfy installboot's undocumented
and totally unreasonable assumptions about the bootxx file it's operating
on. No point in fixing the assumptions, because sooner rather than later
this incarnation of installboot is going to die.

Revert recent changes, which either don't work, or can't be built
successfully by ordinary mortals.

Compile with -Os (optimize for size).
Clean up the "Region 1" related definitions, and define load addresses,
max load size, and max total size for as many boot block types as we can.
(types = unified, primary, secondary). We can't always define all
values for all boot blocks, though.
Make CPP flags selection less gross.
Use objcopy rather than headersize (yay, evil gets a stake to the heart!).
Use a little shell script to verify that the sizes of the boot blocks are OK.
Do not compile too much more of libsa than we actually have to.

Much more sane boot block builds, from Chris Demetriou.

-use DHCP extensions in bootp()
-enable -Wall

branches: 1.12.4; 1.12.6;
Eliminate bogus redefinitions of standard targets.

STRIP -> STRIPFLAG

clean up NetBSD RCS ID strings

branches: 1.9.2;
reorganize Alpha boot block sources: put common sources in a 'common'
directory (so they don't clutter up the arch/alpha/stand), and put
not-common sources in programs' directories.

add support for reading gzipped kernels.

update for new kernel library build process

move an 'int debug;' into boot.c (it was the only diff between boot.c and
netboot.c), and nuke netboot.c (using boot.c instead for network boot blocks).

clean up a bit. include libraries more carefully, so that when compressed
read code is integrated into libsa things will work properly.

seriously clean up makefiles. use libsa/libkern/libz as appropriate,
and don't build the various sources into objs locally by specifying
them directly in the Makefiles.

Use ${INSTALL}.

checkpoint current development, add ELF toolchain build support

start on some network boot blocks. they work, but:
(1) the if_prom code needs to be cleaned up quite a bit
(right now it hard-codes client's ethernet address), and
(2) much of this code (esp: getsecs.c, netboot.c, newvers.sh,
rpcc.S) should be shared with other Alpha boot blocks,
and dev_net.[ch] should maybe go in libsa proper.
